There is pain in your mentality
I can see it in your eyes babe
They shine forth glitter and spew
Wet lines
Cutting through the dust on your stalled inaction plan
They also shine anger and pain an' hatred
Focused tight into intent diamonds
Bitter vitriol directed against
Your fellow man
Embrace womankind then and taste the nectar
That drives me so
Ill----------------------logically
Taste the smaller side, the calmer side, the softer hew
Musical laughter and womanscent
Abandon us brutish males, but
Give me a glass of wine and smoking stick
Give me a place to stand that I may be heard
Recognized as One in the multitude
Where I may shout, sway the braying beasts
The sluggish insect drones humanity
We can try maybe to be, you an' I
Your pain is felt in my bones too
Why you stab me with your poison pen
Why you scratch my cheek, bite my tongue
When i move to kiss you
There is pain in your mentality
I can see babe
But you got to have friends
You got to try love
Again and bear it
Wet lines black lines
Your sneering lips so beautiful
Head raised now, ready to fight
Not I my love, not I
I can see it in your eyes babe
