Lyrics

We were born into
homes our parents found;
no one can blame us
for eating our way out

No shame in nature
(or super, which abounds)
so I'm not afraid
to use love as a noun

But if the fat, hidden tears
of men that we may become
cough themselves to sleep
curled deep into our skulls

It means we've lost instinct,
our true joy, our queer tongues

It means that we'll handle
all our grief "like adults"

[Do you wanna make something of it?
I would like to make something of it--
I love it

Take the hand that feeds
in your mouth
and just suck it

Satiate a need,
turn my bloodlust
to hot shit]

I can't handle stifling grief like adults.
