I used to wish what I love
Wasn't anachronistic
Antagonistic,
Willfully perverse
But…
Nowadays when I hear
What passes for new music
Can't help but think I heard it
Somewhere else first
Generations of noise copy
Round the edges off the wave
When it's cool we kill the chill
And when it's hot we want it cold
Now
Not knockin the new
But what we have got here
Is a failure to communicate due to
Doxxing the old
I wish I hadn't found my strength
In an age of weakness
When the poles of human values
Seem nearly reversed
But
Wish in one hand
Spit in the other
See for yourself which one of 'em
Fills up first
I used to need to want to need you
The neediness divine
But now I need to used to
This is my heart
This is my time
