They will talk and talk before you walk
they will open a floodgate in your head children
then they begin to push and probe
and one day
charge you to be dead
they will ask you to sign on all their dotted lines
they will pull you about
until you crack
and throw you out the second you’re behind...
until you’re mad
they will stone the woman with a million words
break a man if he's too slow
they show you a world where nothing is real
and make you stare at a man on a cross
they will demand that you put your loves aside
friends and nature and night skies
they will make the poison wonderful to drink
until you hate what you think
Until you’re mad...
