I can’t do it
I’m going to get sloppy
I can’t be it
That’ll be another beer
I can’t hold it
Cheap bic lighter
and five minutes peace
I can’t help it
‘Cuz bubbling over
is just what I do
I can’t will it
All that shit I ignore
explodes into
tears or flames
I can’t beat it
You’re gonna be
so damn uncomfortable
I can’t stop it
When I run to
your rescue
I can’t perfect it
Always going to be
the sinner
and the saint.
I can’t regret it
life has no time
to waste on
manufactured shame.
