I store dignity underneath my bed (song 4)

(A)

i write ambivalent equanimity

i tell you how to feel

and it reminds me how

slurred your thoughts become

if no one tells you what to do

if secrets aren't a promise

then literacy is a virtue


(B)

convulsive secrets spit acid on tongues

mirrored edges of formulated grins 

Obsessive hypertension for when

You continue to lie about how you'd fallen


(C)

psychotomimetic soaked in psychosis

drinks you up and drowns in

lucrative speech slurred under your tongue

drinks you up and drowns in

congregated malposition underlying lies

its only if you found how benevolence-y hides


(D)

you're in the eye of the hurricane

you long for heated attention so you're not alone

but I see the delirious cries you choke out

but you lack the equanimity to hold yourself up


(B)

convulsive secrets spit acid on tongues

mirrored edges of formulated grins 

Obsessive hypertension for when

You continue to lie about how you'd fallen


(E)

you showed him your almost illegal ecstasy

it's only fair if you show it all


(C)

psychotomimetic soaked in psychosis

drinks you up and drowns in

lucrative speech slurred under your tongue

drinks you up and drowns in

congregated malposition underlying lies

its only if you found how benevolence-y hides


(C)

psychotomimetic soaked in psychosis

drinks you up and drowns in

lucrative speech slurred under your tongue

drinks you up and drowns in

congregated malposition underlying lies

its only if you found how benevolence-y hides


(C)

psychotomimetic soaked in psychosis

drinks you up and drowns in

lucrative speech slurred under your tongue

drinks you up and drowns in

congregated malposition underlying lies

its only if you found how benevolence-y hides
