Mush For Brains

Mush For Brains

A Poem by Indra's Child
"

Grunge/Goth fusion song lyrics

"
When a friend is just a stranger
All of a sudden, just stay longer
Feel the air burns, electric
Feel like the Earth feels, eclectic
Cancel all of our subscriptions
Dine and dash without admission
Feel like breathing poison
Feel like the rat, feel like dosing

You took my hands and cut them
You said, 'Don't worry, it's tribute,'
I looked away, you sold them
Look into the void where I met you

Am I allowed
Am I endowed
Am I too loud
Am I allowed
To be me

Look at the shoes, don't walk in them
That's anything but empathy
Feel free to apathize
Feel like an appetizer
Look at my shoes, I'm shoegazing
Scorn the friction, you're stargazing
Without meaning, I think I'm better
Feel like you're just a sympathizer

You took my blood, and drank it
Saying, 'I'm an alcoholic,'
I closed my eyes, held my breath
Choked out of apprehension's sister

Am I allowed
I'm a coward
Do I make sound
Am I allowed
To be me

Am I allowed
Am I allowed
Am I allowed
I'm not allowed
I live in doubt
I live in doubt
Am I allowed
Am I allowed
Am I allowed
Am I too loud
Am I allowed
To be me
