Let It Go

pouring over sketches

spending time with wretches

my shadow’s getting longer

as the nights are drawing in

I’m slowly getting taller

‘cos I feed on paranoia

the ones that came before you

were no better than you’ve been

sick of all you bitches

scratch until it itches

pulling at my stitches

while you’re swinging on a star

come into my kitchen

selling me religion

playing with the pidgeons

like the vermin that you are

those things ain’t wings

and that ain’t a fucking halo

don’t say another word

don’t even look until I say so

I’ve had it up to here

so you can take it over there

I’m going to make you wish

you’d never tried to make me care

pretending not to notice

ignoring the explosives

forgiving predilections

deforming your opinion

we tried to use reason and social cohesion you labelled us terrorists and charged us all with treason

and every day I bow my head and I don’t speak up because I’m not worth it

they haven’t caught me or at least not yet but they will ‘cos I know that I’m not perfect

those things ain’t wings

and that ain’t a fucking halo

don’t say another word

don’t even look until I say so

I’ve had it up to here

so you can take it over there

I’m going to make you wish

you’d never tried to make me care
