Newborn Tongue

So sick of hypocrisy
I smell of jealousy
Skin me some ecstasy
To encounter reality

Got to break down this wall
(…I’m shaking like milk…)
Got to stand up and be tall
(…I’m fragile like silk…)

Toilets have more dignity
Flushed into obscurity
Alone in my captivity
With eyes of conspiracy

Longing to be one with familiarity
Like a dog with it’s favourite tree
…a newborn tongue…
Awakening the fresh taste
Of morning sky toothpaste

Great line, this is really good…
Glad you enjoyed this….I have to admit i am pretty proud of that line myself….it conjures up an amusing and tragic image…
