Candy Cigarette
You’re like a candy cigarette
You get me thinking
like I’m 7 all over again,
thinking that having you
on my lips
is cool,
chic...
Oh, you got me thinking stupid!
How I was such a pretender with you!
and so we wear wide brimmed hats ...
glaring dastardly on high
we see the propaganda—
and happily carry on,
giving plenty shade to it
Gol!
Let me be
your soccer ball
That you kick around
I would get kicks out of it too
At least then,
I would be something you love
Bleed For the Truth
Truth hurts. We know.
We run straight up to the bombs
while others go the other way
We don’t search for cover- not at all.
We’re berserkers
We get hit hard by the shrapnel,
bleed like crazy.
But the blood is our war paint.
We keep charging forward!
