probably

[dead man]

she says

you're the person i need. i say you're probably drunk.
i'm only here to relish in my selfish corruption
i shook my mother up from bed to tell me she loved me
and never quite recovered from whatever she mumbled
so here we are. heavy feather dancing at dawn
i'm belligerent, you're staring at me, asking whats wrong
a simple question, single seed was planted upon
fertile crescent pheromone where pharaohs are born
to die inside a pyramid of bondage and sweat
ask me where she went, i say she probably left
better now than later, better argue than compromise
better safe than sorry, rather die than apologize
all this time later i'm still trying to proselytize
talk me into lying down i'm walking the line
between anything and anybody making it clear
i had a goal in mind and now it seems insincere
i crave a message to send. a promise to keep
whats the problem, she asks. i say its probably me.
