Of course I m lying And with my symbolism of submission Were you just so bitter that I never wore it for you Of course you care And that s a sweet thought darling But you should know I still don t give a damn Of course I love You never questioned whether your lies Were my lies And your secrets My secrets Better kept You should recognise the signs much earlier - I m disappointed in your faulty empathy In learning to recognise your counterpart I am after all the treble harmony in your dirge Singing counterpoint to your requiem Of course it s true I bow to them all as they fuck And I love the mask I wear When their hands wrap themselves around my face I let them all in unshielded From my nature prostrating itself before their egos I ve learned to laugh when beaten into the ground And to moan with pleasure instead of pain Of course they believe in me I have given them nothing else Breasts and genitals Can define me So what more do I need to know They know that there is nothing for them That is not enclosed by my flesh They know that the place where they can rest themselves Is not so far within me as it seems Of course I ll change Or have you heard that lie before
