Starving, Ignorant & Raving

I've broken every rule,
shattered the discontent;
yet somehow I'm at fault
for your happiness.
A slave to slander and
a pope among the trees,
I drive a hard bargain
when I'm on one knee...

and I will
bowl away, every wonder
every day. All inspired,
all afraid, and yet I'm entirely
in disarray.

Ugly figures, dance in silhouette,
and laughingly...I turn to run away.
Supposed brother, supposed friend,
a guilty lover in the trappings
of a stare.

Shelter me baby, I'm just a poor son
I've got no one, I've got nothin'
Save me darling, I'm just a pauper,
starving, ignorant and raving.

and I will bowl away,
all your insecurities;
your disaffected intellectual
inability to dream.
