Strut

It's half the fun to lay them down
Otherwise they'd begrudge the ground
Soon you will see
What you've been set to be
They only tried to help
When they undid their belt

And we know
That there's a knocker at the door
Hasn't he heard of peace and quiet
Can't it wait till we're done sighing?

Oh youth
Buy your inevitable
How sweet she knows how to bend
Soon you will see
What you were meant to be
Born into sweetness
Then suckled at deaths teat

And we know
That there's a knocker at the door
Hasn't she heard of grace and fawning?
One needs honey to catch vermin

How we wept for you
How we worked for you
How we broke our minds
So you'd have those too

I pray for restraint
When it falls to us
Was it out of love?
Or a-mortality
To take such pride in your children's pyre
