Season of Severing

Don’t repeat the things I’ve said – They might be taken out of context In this pit of rats and vipers, We’re all guilty of what’s said next The gag is placed – silence follows There are some things I will never swallow Don’t read into things I’ve said Don’t insert things in these lines In the era of designer-frustration, One steps lightly for fear of mines It’s a good season For severing tongues And don’t pretend to be holy or pious Out of fixation on your pride Evil judgment when your soul is your Pilate – Ergo the swords piercing your side The gag is placed – silence follows There are some things I would never swallow It’s a good season For severing tongues (1998, 2017)
