Adam's lonely ribcage put pains inside his head
force me to use my logic and I know I'm almost dead
and the man who kissed his myths don't know what he's missing
plus, most folks don't have myths that are much worth kissing
miniature spies with compound eyes flirting with eternity
this crippling city's gonna turn you magic for a nominal little fee
when I'm old I'll find some reasons to be upset
I'm still teething so I ain't got fangs quite yet
watch someone else's love just blooming like a cubist rose
feel your muscles ache as you take that hero's pose
damned like I am an ugly man with praying hands
how can you tell when you've made a fan of the cannibals who shake your hand? and
I won't let them in
my heart, it longs for little portions
like the devil on christmas day
alone and so ashamed
I don't care what you do or say
the wind just blows it all away
