I Close My Eyes

I close my eyes
hoping I might cry

what is the point

to life without freedom
I bid adieu

sweet and conquering lies
like honey on warm bread

we drown ourselves
in a socially real sticky caress

darling I want you
to take a bath

wash yourself of that heavy mess
join me

in a unique reality
made from and for yourself

sing your freedom
dance your mind

beauty
is what I call it

I try to shed a tear
for those who still fear

for what is the point
to life without freedom

I bid adieu
