TELL ME FATHER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
your name is festered into acid on my silver tongue
past these parted lips it has no direction
and i'm afraid of freeing your vile creation into the air
and allowing your rot to dig into the skeleton of this paper house
TELL ME FATHER WHERE DID YOU GO
why did you tell me your name but not how to spell it
where can I spill these disgusting words before they sear past my
paper skin
your acid's trickling down my spine
your empty words are corrosive
i can't always be titanium
TELL ME FATHER WHERE WILL YOU RUN
you're pouring hydrogen but i'm screaming for oxygen
this isn't chemistry
it's insanity you've trapped between my platinum lips
finis cannot be contained.
