Advance Upon The Real

I have limitations when it comes to my desiring

And complicated feelings on desire and desiring

I need constant reinforcement

I'm at best a step removed from what's considered natural

I'm at worst disinterested in what's considered lovable

Love is love

But power is power

The challenge now is to climb down from the wall

And try what might have been

Develop and negotiate the secret space there between what I do

And what I say regarding fucking

But I won't - cause you I'm God in human form

You've never met anyone like me before

Stop me if you've heard this one before

If you promise to stay drunk or devoted

Then I'll do my best to stay for a while

And I know you'll never leave

You'll love me endlessly

But I got no desire left in me

I don't understand attraction

All attraction involves fear

And all fear is desire

I'm an advance upon the real

Not a step up from others, but a step away

I'm waiting in the interim of her and other her and him

Too dangerous to care for, too curious to pass by

Too interesting to love

But you're cool, so you'll try

And for a while things are gonna be just fine

Everything is gonna be fine

I've been God in a rose

I've been woven into quilts and a hundred bad songs

And I've done so much wrong

And because of me you can't like that one band anymore

Stop me if you've heard this one before
