Soon a new family
A generation
To be a part of -
A gap to be apart from
When the mucous plug goes
Everybody knows
The time is upon
To bless the mess made
Surrender to the spirits - best efforts have been made
Please deliver a special soul
Recycled is fine
Brand new is just as good
So long as it's in there
Around here
One of us
Unless we are soulless
In which case
Provisions should be made
A generation
To be a part of -
A gap to be apart from
When the mucous plug goes
Everybody knows
The time is upon
To bless the mess made
Surrender to the spirits - best efforts have been made
Please deliver a special soul
Recycled is fine
Brand new is just as good
So long as it's in there
Around here
One of us
Unless we are soulless
In which case
Provisions should be made
With such a story
There is sure to be some heated twists
Let them be incredible and meaningful
Something to jot down
On real paper
Passing along some candid realism
Where ripping out some of the pages
Distracts from the intent
To have a meaty tale
That binds itself to the truth
With loose claws
And space in between
For arrows and olive branches
Wheat and shields
Cat tails and wild berries
For this is the bloody show
Nothing should shock
Unless it entices
Unties our bows
And replaces empty jars with toads
These are the moments
Bumpy and slimy
Private and foreboding
That tighten our laces
Cinch up our every other
Bind our corset
And make way for air around
To sooth and replenish
All substance tight and tickled
Some secrets are grave secrets
