Knock

The times get harder, but I get stronger

I can’t way for the days to get longer

I denied forever, but I now can’t help indulging

Well, if I really want it, why stop it evolving?

I’m holding something tight, it knots my guts

I feel it twitch and twinge when my eyes shut

Twist and whinge, it won’t achieve much

I’ve never lost when I white knuckle to clutch

So much I don’t get, so much I don’t want to

So blessed I have you there to run to

One of the lucky ones, I am, finding you so easy

But if I do keep indulging, will it push you to leave me?

On these dark evenings my mind can’t help match

Still I burn in the yearns of my nasty traps

I got the muscle for it, but how many laps?

Cos I can’t keep running when things start to attach

And I quite like how we merge, how we latch

That’s why I feel tougher, perhaps

Still, I can tell, I’m due something to snap

So I hope you know how to clean up a relapse

Dark by afternoon, dinner in the pitch black

Cold as I wake up with my knees dug in your back

I go through the motions, work hard to collapse

Long days and long naps

I want to be free, make art and create

I want to be kind, shake off what I hate

I want to be alive, have a clean slate

I want to be jacked, one touch just to break

You offer liberation, consideration

Exhilaration, augmentation

How lucky to find such a collaboration

I’m starting to outgrow the dedications

To the traumas that tortured

And promised a life stationed

In the nooks of my creation

Who gives a fuck if it’s morbid or it’s arctic

If not everything I do is fun or cathartic

If the batteries dead, then recharge it

And let me stop beating the carcass

You aren’t what I hear in my head when it gets bad

What I see, what I think I deserve, or what I’ve had

You aren’t delivered to destroy me

And you stop the evil dance of my own hands

When they reach to beat dust

On the very spot I stand.
