Repeat Ourselves

 Let's try it again

You know, throw ourselves

Into that we both fear.

Armed with the knowledge of our doom

This time

A little lesser of ourselves is all we need.

I will be less mean

You can be less vague.

Repeating our classes on each other.

Baptising ourselves in the folly of our existence.

We should be sore from retrying and failing.

Allow me to do that which you love,

Let me tickle all your fun places

I want to be your enigma

Let me rearrange your world,

Allow me to make you a believer

I will let you turn me into sin.

Let us try it again.

A little lesser of ourselves

And the more we hid

Shall spill, flooding

The sanity we both despise.
