Suppose You Grow (2020)

Anger Machine

How many lines can you draw?
I let my best get lost.
I had my signals crossed.

And what are you making of me?
I’m just an anger machine
triggered by what I believe to be true
of me and of you.

Hiding out for days.
Now I’m blowing everyone away.

Quickly,
so paint me a masterpiece please,
an abstract, a beauty,
something I can bare to look at
to spare my mind the tragic kickback.

For goodness sake, you had it all right.
You had it all right in your head, and I sang the wrong line.
I lost my damn mind.
You had it all right and I talked you out of it.

Triggered by bitter disease,
I am the guilty party.
I am an anger machine.
That’s not news to you, or to me.
