Disheartened filth plagues my mouth
With things you’d say
I can’ say it’s just not the same
What are you up to,
And where did you go?
Where did I go wrong?

This isn’t to say you did anything
But to say that I did nothing to stop you

Nobody escapes these words unscathed
From the child to you and I
Beyond a doubt

And it’s clear that
This isn’t meant to be
Though you try to make me see
That everything is all right
--But maybe we are wrong

As we fall away
There is nothing we can say
With our mouths sown tight

Maybe you should come back down
From your place on that throne
Eternal servitude was never my thing
