Hey, it’s okay To like what you like, And do who you wanna. As long as when it comes to blows, You’re ready for the slaughter. If for those curiosities, you’ll have an answer tomorrow. As long as when the shade falls, You do what you oughta.

ANSWERS

There are answers Owed to me From beyond  The sprawling tree of time. So I am standing here at the bottom, Shaking it, and kicking it And screaming at the ones  Who came before me, Who knew the twists and tangles  Of this giant, And knew when this tree’s branches Were low enough to climb… […]
