Navigating the Windward Passage

Drinking deathwish
 Nights can't save this.
 Glasseyed slackjaws
 Scream from safe homes.
 I've got it wrong.
 Time and again,
 Song after song.
 You've got answers:
 Killing to please,
 Swooning disasters.
 So inventory me,
 Drop me in your fishbowl.
 I'm dying to breathe
 Through your tight pigeon hole.
 A dead man in dead dreams
 When I'm gone you won't miss me.
 You're dying to fist me
 Out of the closet
 And into the fire.
 Out of these dumb
 Little quips that inspire.
 Outright outrage
 Enrages you now.
 You're lifeless and sticky.
 Kicking dead cows.
 Fuck you sound.
 One shot, all wrong.
 One lie, all gone.
 So cry for yourselves,
 I'll die with my own help.
 These words are mine
 And this grave that we share
 Time after time
 Chokes my life out
 While you ask yourselves
 What I'm crying about.
 Well, these tears that are falling
 Are wetting deaf ears.
 You cry for your protests
 And say I don't care.
 I couldn't care less
 I don't answer to you.
 I couldn't care less
 If you're repulsed
 Through and through.
 A dead man in dead dreams
 When I'm gone you won't miss me.
 You're dying to fist me
 Out of the closet
 And into the fire.
 Out of these dumb
 Little quips that inspire.
 Outright outrage
 Enrages you now.
 You're lifeless and sticky.
 Kicking dead cows.
 Fuck you sound.
 When it's all said and done,
 Did you really think
 That you were the only one?
 You were here before you,
 You'll be here when you're gone.
 Just another lemming
 Humming protest songs.
 Out of the closet
 And into the fire.
 Out of these dumb
 Little quips that inspire.
 Outright outrage
 Enrages you now.
 You're lifeless and sticky.
 Kicking dead cows.
 Fuck you sound.
