Sick With Milk

you're making me fat with milk smug in silk
I'm your princess to spoil
your precious baby doll in clearance sale lingerie
make me sweet promises
to keep me from going sour
tell me it's not a power play when you say
you have to make me happy so that when some
other guy comes along I'll say none
for me, thanks

I don't want to be fat and happy
I want to be starving and miserable
punishing myself for what I've done to you
what I'm going to do maybe
if I ever take the detour to unapologetic
genetic lunacy again
don't let me inside that safe darling circle
of me and you against them
whatever the cost
allow me my storm tossed mania my moon howling
ecstasy prowling tummy growling refusal
to conform and warm myself
by the media's fires

this life is not my comfort zone
this love is not my playground
I'm on a mission
and I don't know why
I've got too much stardust dancing
through my veins
to nap beneath the Milky Way
dreaming of all days yet to come
and all that this world
owes me.
