Bark

I’ll die without issue an economic refugee

Caught between a rumour, 

Caught between a headbutt and a hard place to be.

Spilled into a park bench, a bank holiday Monday casualty 

A pale fabrication, a mascot for emasculation

Repeat after me and bark like a little dog 

You can’t read a mind by staring at a forehead

Leave me alone I’ll sleep when I’m dead 

I’ll sleep when I’m dead 


Wretches on crutches sing Ave Maria

A sad face is washed, a warm bed is emptied 

Wretches on crutches sing Ave Maria

I myself as a wretch put my worries to bed. 


A relentless scab was he 

Beyond reproach I am free free free

From the plastic smiles and the monotone souls 

Bark, bark, bark like a little dog.
