Controlled Regression
I've been using it shyly
To find ancestors
Left over in my body
When the truth remains
I will welcome them kindly
Inherited my mouth
From someone inside of me
I have been crying
Prying, earflow
Can you see my tears
That sprout form fearful
Roots that grew from seeds
I swallowed 1000 years ago
Well I have been here sitting
Vowing, drinking
Please give me my parents'
Way of thinking
Raise a child that's pure
Of gender division, yes I know
Supressed rеgression
It has spiraled inside of mе
To love is to lose
Every part of me the never see
The organ that fits
In every person that's married me
Inherited ideas from a higher body
Your name has been erased
From all your homework
You have been torn out of
Countless pictures
Words have dissapeared from
All your scriptures
Life is not a single
Friend worth knowing
Life is not without a
Come and going
They will never hear
What you've been
Showing the world
You will never be unique or famous
You will always be depressed and faceless
