The bottom rung is not the rung I chose. You think I did this for fun?? I ruined my life for your entertainment. Do you appreciate me?? Do you appreciate me?? I gave you my lobotomized brain and you traded it in for a plastic pacifier. This is bigger than me! This is bigger than you! This is bigger than me! This is bigger than you! This is bigger than me! This is me and not you!

I will stuff my face-hole until I explode! This hole cannot be filled with your fat fat fingers. This hole cannot be filled with your fat fat fingers. If not for this hole, if not for this hole. My body is changing. (Dream time; skull pops / cantaloupe on newsprint with the mutton head wrapped in lace smiling) If not for this hole, if not for this hole. I would love to simultaneously tell and hear every story at once of everyone who ever disappointed me. This hole cannot be filled with your fat fat fingers. Fish drowning suffocated in sandy gills. I will stuff my face-hole until I explode. If not for this hole, if not for this hole.

I see you with that peripheral eye. I see you naked in a stall. I see you with your veiled interogation. I see you, I see your self objectification. I see you, your concealed fascination. I see you looking for a fight. I see you wishing you were right. I see you, I see you, I see you as no different than me. I see you, I see you barking up at me. (dog barking) I don't mean to be rude, but this has always been a little more tiresome than I let on. I'm required to be appreciative In spite of your claims of masochistic grandeur, but I wasn't born yesterday. I was born today and I see you like a fresh-born fuckin' baby, man. I see you! I see you! I don't mean to be rude, but I eat little girls like you for brunch, man.

Me & The Bell. We bicker like brothers and I always win. Bell cracks and it's back to business again! Life-blood of a Fantastic Organism. Fertile & Absolute. Me & The Bell. Bell cracks and it's back to business again! Me & The Bell.

Lo! The Winter Solstice falls! "So long," cried the Mansion Boy. The wind blows in mysterious ways. "Ask and ye shall receive," it whispered. "I have tired of skeptical resignation; so long," cried the Mansion Boy. This was no comedy of coincidence. These slamming doors were never our own. "So long," cried the Mansion Boy. Skepticism be damned, we made a case for magnets in our heads. So long, so long, so long! Goodbye to the icons. Goodbye to the Voidal Drift. Goodbye to all ye interlopers. All the more fragrance may your precocious spirit lift. We have left you our incantations. Magnetic codes cracked /sent fissures through the planet. Lift me once more tonight if your will is... "So long," cried the Mansion Boy. Thank you kindly interlopers. Thank you patrons of The Void. All the more fragrance may your precocious spirit lift, and pray your incantations your rest permit.

Light floats down day river on uh red raft o’ blood Night blocks out d’ heaven like uh big black shiny bug Its hard soft shell shinin’ white in one spot well It’s hard place dat I’m livin’ but I’m doin’ well well The white ice horse melted like uh spot uh silver well Its mane went last then disappeared the tail My life ran thru my veins Whistlin’ hollow well I froze in solid motion well well I heard the beetle clickin’ well I heard the ocean swarmin’ body well well I sensed the thickest silence scream Then I begin t’ dream My mind cracked like custard Ran red until it sealed Turn t’ wooden ‘n rolled like uh wheel well well Thick black felt birds uh flyin’ With capes of solid chrome With feathers of solid chrome ‘n beaks of solid bone ‘n bleach the air around them White ‘n cold well well Till it showed in pain The hollow cane clicked like ever after Its shadow vanished shinin’ silence Well well

There it was at the bottom of the basin and there it was under my fingernail and I tried to scrub it out but it was neither wine nor water It was neither wine nor water under my fingernail under my fingernail You waited as I did watching from the wings You begged me “Please don’t be boring” and the copper bell rings and there you were under my fingernail There it was at the bottom of the basin under my fingernail under my fingernail the Dawn of Day comin' through and there you were under my fingernail and I tried to scrub it out tars of The Void black as menstrual blood permanent as stone and there you will remain under my fingernail under my fingernail under my fingernail

I asked for you to let me stay, but I never thought I'd ask you to let me leave. I was pounding my head against the wall and the walls were cavin' in and the walls consumed me and I became the wall. We were shackled at the hip by this ancient wormhole pipeline and I’m compelled to believe and I'm compelled to ask you to let me leave. Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave, let me leave! Surrogate Father says to me, "It’s within the realm of human beings." Where were you when I was sick to my stomach? Where were you when I needed to sleep beside you? Let me leave, let me leave! I read the poem you sent about me. The one about the way I was before ya. I would still do almost anything to stand as proud and oblivious as ya. Can you hear the shackles pullin'? Can you hear the shackles pullin'? Let me leave, let me leave! Can you hear me asking this now? Can you remember the time of day? let me leave let me leave let me leave let me leave let me leave Can you hear the shackles pullin'? Can you hear the shackles pullin'?
