I just wanted to be the face of neutrality
I never wanted to leave

Sinking in, striking out
Shifty tongue, broken ideas

The machine inside me
Spits out numbers violently
Vomits expletives unnecessarily
It won't let me be

I want to see the birds and the bees
Won't always be permanent

To everybody that I love today
I want to feel ashamed

I can see the birds and the bees
Will always be permanent
And if the world teams up on me, I guess

I only want you around when you're not around
But now you're gone
Brushing your teeth with a cigarette
I only want you around when you're not around
But now you're gone
Choking on a cigarette

I can see the birds and the bees
I want to feel affirmative
I believe in what you believe
I'm pouring under
Spilling under
I'm down on my knees
