Be Honest, Ruth Bryan! - The Lesser of Two Evils lyrics

I see my hand moving Writing the words I know it must write Ink slowly stiffening Hardening into black stalactites Emerging into daylight From the cave of my mind And the water dripping off is not tears Just condensation from the sides Oh, legs I will cut you off Eyes I will gouge you out Digits throw you aloft Self I will dash you down If you get into my way Hands, you can stay Keep writing No matter what you hear my tongue say The day is done dawning And I have made what choice I can The light comes in harshly Hitting the buildings at a slant Slam the door shut Don't let it get into my house And I am done writing Boxed into a corner Marching to a self-imposed merciless count Oh, legs I will cut you off Eyes I will gouge you out Digits throw you aloft Self I will dash you down If you get into my way Hands, you can stay Keep writing No matter what you hear my tongue say Oh my tongue says "Stop, This is not what I want" My tongue says "Please stop, stop" Oh my tongue says "Stop, This is not what I want" But when my tongue says "Stop," Keep on Keep on Or legs I will cut you off Eyes I will gouge you out Digits throw you aloft Self I will dash you down If you get into my way Hands, you can stay Keep writing No matter what you hear No matter what you hear Oh, legs I will cut you off Eyes I will gouge you out Oh, Digits throw you aloft My self I will dash you down If you get into my way Hands, you can stay Keep writing No matter what you hear my tongue say You must keep writing No matter what you hear my tongue say
