Goshua

[Verse 1]
I ask: “Are we born into anger or does it bloom like a cancer?
The one that consumed your father
For no good reason and severed his chapter?”
We’re divided by a wavering expression
And I drink too much to cut the tension
You think you live for attention?
Man, look what I do for a pension
If we could trade for a moment
I’d feed you the virus that made me a showman
Perhaps it’s a matter of good parenting
Either way I’m a former American

[Chorus]
Cracked out in the morning light
Fleeing quickly on all fours
I’m in knots for you, Goshua, Goshua
Severed from a former light
Into the bowels of the night
This all for you, Goshua, Goshua

[Verse 2]
A wealth of sexual organs
With nowhere kind to export them
Gushing from the seams with your fluids
And steeped in ritual action like a half-baked druid
I remember when we were pubeless
I remember we knew nothing of hubris
I remember you were sure you could do this
Before you decided you’re heavy and useless

[Bridge]
Thick black sugar-fed abstract blood sap
One gun, bang bang, where’s your riot act?
Thick black sugar-fed abstract blood sap
One gun, bang bang, where’s your riot act?

[Verse 3]
You feel the weight of nowhere
Do you feel it? Do you feel it?
Like all the kids you’ll never have come
To lynch you, lynch you
You are the “bitch they broke in”
You are the “whore they skinned alive”
Will they stand on you or will you stand up?
Can’t you even try?
You feel the weight of nowhere
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Like all the love you’ll never make
Has come to haunt you, haunt you
You are the “bitch they broke in”
You are the “whore they skinned alive”
I know you have the strength to fight back
So why don’t you just try?

[Chorus]
Cracked out in the morning light
Fleeing quickly on all fours
I’m in knots for you, Goshua, Goshua
Severed from a former light
Into the bowels of the night
This all for you, Goshua, Goshua
