And I’ve held my mind inside of a plastic carrier bag The repetition of the obvious mistake, these grazes, These Papercuts Pinned like a badge, an emblem of a downcast eye A useless body, it’s passive nature a causal contempt
Like a screw top bottle, it’s contents discarded Maybe if I’d kept a receipt we could chew upon it Like spaghetti and liqueur, spat out as a refund Instead you are open, I am solid, and we sleep in other fluid
Swinging plastic above my head, an artery offers it’s last Crashing down upon a symbol, the mind explodes An army of “thou shalt not”s can barely contain themselves Crawling all over, their laughter at suppression
Give me eight eyes and let me juggle a useless desire I’ll spend myself as cheaply as I can, flushing away The irony as I empty and complain about the lack of fingertip Someone else’s hand pushing a scalp into a feather pillow
And you can bleed for me if you wish, my surface spinning axis Give me hooks and broken glass to hang my drenched thoughts upon I’ve nothing left to hammer home, have swallowed my bitter nails Cos I'm tired and bored of London and all that entails
