lyrics

i've got poppies on my mug
opium is opium
i'm too weak to resist that tongue
but i've got poppies just like my grandma
in the kitchen our undersold labor
regret the habits on this wax paper
kolaches turn into funeral craters
but i've got blisters just like my grandma
i've got sister's hair in bags
tiny poems of her death
i'm too weak to still speak on breath
but i got a garden just like my grandma...
i'm growing food just like my grandma

but i speak into my hands
soaking up some compassion
training my satisfaction
cause i do not know
how to make it slow
i'm just a stranger in a basement
leaping for my amazement
running my own estrangement
i praise the earth for life
i praise the earth for death

i've got saturn on my jacket
i'm just an astro-physic faggot
i always wanted to live in outerspace
but i've got duties just like my grandma
detroit obsession on my knees
i draw the outline and release
i want to beg you pretty please
cause i've got to climax just like my grandma
