The Company You Keep Falls Apart

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP FALLS APART

I’m talking to myself again. I love me.
Sorry you don’t. Apologetic for words
beat back the devil with a baseball bat.

There is a dark spirit here. Push it in to outer space.
I’m going to be bright and orbit around the moon
like a sun god. Crazy talk is her communication style.

Bite her and she’ll love you forever. Growing up
we have to fit in to these molds of what a girl is.
When you look at them up close they are burning.

Bust your balls and do it if you get one chance.
I learned about my feminine side through welding. 
People think I’m going to snap and kill. 

I should shake them. Nobody wants to listen
to the bad. They want to be happy. Tell them
you don’t know if you’re phony or genius. 

Say it simple. Make idiots understand. This is a guide 
for those that need to hear good things. They don’t 
want to hear the full story. Don’t be an animal.

Do a midnight sex scene. People are mean. Stop
making me mad with your pissed off jeans.
Put your big boy pants on and smile.

You’re pissed off because you notice me
see me as a threat. Get over it. This is my jungle.
I’m so insecure I’m a mental condition. 

Live life and relax. Judgment is a waste of time
when exercised poorly. Mother gun, ray of hope,
light bath get arise. Your soul is crying for sex.
