I’ve been stuck on the perineum
Between loving you, and alcoholism
We’ve got a lot of talking to do
I’ve been on the barbarian
Regiment of drinking in bed
And touching myself way too much
Don’t tell me I’m out of touch
I didn’t volunteer for this boutique world
With bourgeois dreams and sensible girls
I’m not a sensible girl, I’m not a sensible girl
I’m not your fucking custodian
It’s not my job to keep you clean
Not when I’m on my knees
I won’t wrap your bandages
But I’ll free your hostages
And you will call it sacrilege
My indiscreet will to live

Drinking a beer before you get out of bed. Never showering. Waking up with strange marks and hating the State. Is there hope? Probably not. But there's definitely more beer and endless libido. THIS MOUTH IS AN ASHTRAY
More anarcho-pessimistic bummerfolk from a well-traveled and hella-genuine friend. Situates loss and addiction within a larger picture of systemic bummer and oppression. THIS MOUTH IS AN ASHTRAY
