I bait it but I'd much rather bite it
I better not see you going down that dark alley
this is not your macho story,
this is me clothed in cement

I met you  back in solitude back in built up days
where all we were and all we learned was nude thoughtless ways to end our life
as quickly as we came
you were benign and toothless yet you grew into a nation
I stayed the same
I have blown through names in autumn
I can’t get this nonsense out of my head
Its only politics; only paper; only dead

Nothing personal anymore
Nothing sacred just like we planned
Follow blindly down the path you bled for me

I can see the potential
I can see the lines around the block

The Mongrel cat came home, Holding half a head proceeded to show it off to all his new found friends
