What’s wrong with me? What sour about the situation?
Any lover knows forever’s only clever phraseology
used by the uninsured and the insecure
to afford themselves time to explore their own morbidity.

It must be hard to live
being so sensitive
even though it’s so hard to give a shit
about someone else you hypocrite.

And who’s to say there’s even space to move around
as far as all that goes you gotta know deception
as a form of self-protection from the thoughts that keep while you’re
trying to sleep
you’re probably better off being blissful in your ignorance.
Go long.

Because I love it when it rains on the airplane’s windshield.
Because I love to see the cain getting raised like a corn field.
Because Michael Jackson never had his own childhood.
Because my rough and tumble lover’s getting numbers on the five mile road.
Because I never once took a lover who couldn’t hold a book of matches
to the candle of another.
Because because because my momma said so, and that’s all you gotta know.
And that’s my reason why.

It must be hard to live
being so sensitive
even though it’s so hard to give a shit
about someone else you hypocrite.

“Clever Phraseology”
