Goshua

[Verse 1]

I ask: “Are we born into anger or does it bloom like a cancer?

The one that consumed your father

For no good reason and severed his chapter?”

We’re divided by a wavering expression

And I drink too much to cut the tension

You think you live for attention?

Man, look what I do for a pension

If we could trade for a moment

I’d feed you the virus that made me a showman

Perhaps it’s a matter of good parenting

Either way I’m a former American

[Chorus]

Cracked out in the morning light

Fleeing quickly on all fours

I’m in knots for you, Goshua, Goshua

Severed from a former light

Into the bowels of the night

This all for you, Goshua, Goshua

[Verse 2]

A wealth of sexual organs

With nowhere kind to export them

Gushing from the seams with your fluids

And steeped in ritual action like a half-baked druid

I remember when we were pubeless

I remember we knew nothing of hubris

I remember you were sure you could do this

Before you decided you’re heavy and useless

[Bridge]

Thick black sugar-fed abstract blood sap

One gun, bang bang, where’s your riot act?

Thick black sugar-fed abstract blood sap

One gun, bang bang, where’s your riot act?

[Verse 3]

You feel the weight of nowhere

Do you feel it? Do you feel it?

Like all the kids you’ll never have come

To lynch you, lynch you

You are the “bitch they broke in”

You are the “whore they skinned alive”

Will they stand on you or will you stand up?

Can’t you even try?

You feel the weight of nowhere

Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

Like all the love you’ll never make

Has come to haunt you, haunt you

You are the “bitch they broke in”

You are the “whore they skinned alive”

I know you have the strength to fight back

So why don’t you just try?

[Chorus]

Cracked out in the morning light

Fleeing quickly on all fours

I’m in knots for you, Goshua, Goshua

Severed from a former light

Into the bowels of the night

This all for you, Goshua, Goshua
