Passive-Aggressive

I smile, I smile I have to be polite Sun is shining and abiding Have to hide my revulsion from sight Nearer and dearer thou art to me Unfold schismatic symmetry I’m passive-aggressive Swallow the temperament, stow the temper Cut the kite’s tail, let the multiple selves be severed In this sunny field of childhood, chasing the sparrows around You’ll find that in your spasms, you impaled one into the ground That’s passive-aggressive Tell me, what does it do What good does swallowing emotion do The girl never gets to hear her love And the liars and killers never get their due Padded walls, screened calls Building your stucco fortress And here you are in the nursery of fear Hiding from the wicked governess ‘Cause you’re passive-aggressive.
