Good people do such bad things when untended to
Good soil with such dead leaves bearing rotten fruit
Kinetically, I am what you give to me – give me trust and I’ll be trusting
Separately, when I’m not where you can see, the machinery that keeps us on is rusting
And when we meet, you’ll kiss me with a seed between your teeth
And if it settles in my chest, I’ll do my best to leave it be
I’ll let the stem strike out
I’ll let it pry apart my ribs
I’ll throw the petals up to show this for exactly what it is
Kinetically, I am what you give to me – give me trust and I’ll be trusting
Separately, when I’m not where you can see, the machinery that keeps us on is rusting
In conversation, when my tongue is laying traps for you to fall on, will you fall on?
In the teeth, are you calm, are you serene so your stillness gives me nothing?
Take what you want, I won’t be selfish
Just take it all, I know you can’t help it
Don’t lose the step that got you this far
Just get some rest, you know you don’t have to fall apart
(There is nothing to fear, there is nobody watching you
There’s nobody watching you, you don’t have to fall apart)
Good people do such bad things when untended to
Good soil with such dead leaves bearing rotten fruit
