I remember you
the sweat-pantsed kid at the back of the classroom
who put his captors through the ringer
and I with blazing eyes learned so much
that year how long before we give them what they want
the ice was ocean blue
it snowed steel so we made robots
and I remember you learned to make up fears
how long before we give them what they want
lies, lies, lies
dive in the skull yard we leech you
lies, lies, lies
motley the reject the poor kid
lies, lies, lies
I never, you never, we never
all lies, lies, lies
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another lie
yet another line going straight up your nose
I remember you
the 4-letter kid at the back of the classroom
