Catbird

in the catbird seat he drools.
mister mustard makes the rules.
hold me close and understand.
i don't need to hold your hand.
straying august staying late.
i don't like to contemplate.
faking sex and screaming seed.
we don't innovate to breed.

hold me. i'm in the sea.
'cause i've explained. here's how we end.

on your skin and in my throat.
mister mushroom missed the boat.
sharing pincushions and sores.
i don't like it anymore.
telling promises and lies.
i didn't come to compromise.
breaking strain and silence kills.
i've been taking all my pills.

take me. i disbelieve
'cause i've gone past here at last.

here i wander synchronized
all twitching mouths and gasping eyes.
sharing time and DNA
and praying for a quick escape. i cannot wait.

play the game and pay the debt
like mister me marionette.
take the cake and bake the dough.
expel the cryptogene and go.
born to sow at any cost.
packet sent. connection lost.
tearing myself out of me
and losing my identity.

hate me. i've sown my seed.
'cause i don't dream in the end.
