This is not what I mean, I’m sorry Adam

We were at once all and nothing
saw the man cry at something
it was a small piece of cactus
like i’m sure the rapture
means something to these people
and the shiny steeple
never raped a man.

So we came and conquered
and then wondered if Adam would come around
i’m sorry i took your namesake
but you were the best they found.
I just thought they wanted me–
but they hated me.

We were at once all and nurturing
a woman made of 6 pence and richer
not like anything but milk and honey
like i’m sure the man is the money.
it means something to these people
and the shiny chapel
never raped a woman.

So we came and we wondered
and then conquered an Adam’s apple to fuck around
I’m sorry I can’t be tamed
LMAO i was the best you found
I just wish they wanted me–
but they hated me.

hated me. hated you more
but i won’t tell
if you don’t.
you know you won’t
Adam.
