Narcissus |
| Dear momma’s boy, I know you’ve had your butt licked by your mother |
| I know you’ve enjoyed all that attention from her |
| And every woman graced with your presence after |
| Dear narcissus boy, I know you’ve never really apologized for anything |
| I know you’ve never really taken responsibility |
| I know you’ve never really listened to a woman |
| Dear me-show boy, I know you’re not really into conflict resolution |
| Or seeing both sides of every equation |
| Or having an uninterrupted conversation |
| And any talk of healthiness |
| And any talk of connectedness |
| And any talk of resolving this |
| Leaves you running for the door |
| (Why why do I try to love you |
| Try to love you when you really don’t want me to?) |
| (Why why do I try to love you |
| Try to love you when you really don’t want me to?) |
| Dear egotist boy, you’ve never really had to suffer any consequence |
| You’ve never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes |
| You’d never understand anyone showing resistance |
| Dear popular boy, I know you’re used to getting everything so easily |
| A stranger to the concept of reciprocity |
| People honor boys like you in this society |
| And any talk of selflessness |
| And any talk of working at this |
| And any talk of being of service |
| Leaves you running for the door |
| (Why why do I try to help you try to help you |
| When you really don’t want me to?) |
| (Why why do I try to help you try to help you |
| When you really don’t want me to?) |
| You go back to the women who will dance the dance |
| You go back to your friends who will lick your ass |
| You go back to ignoring all the rest of us |
| You go back to the center of your universe |
| Dear self centered boy, I don’t know why I still feel affected by you |
| I’ve never lasted very long with someone like you |
| I never did, although I have to admit I wanted to |
| Dear magnetic boy, you’ve never been with anyone who doesn’t take your shit |
| You’ve never been with anyone who’s dared to call you on it |
| I wonder how you’d be if someone were to call you on it |
| And any talk of willingness |
| And any talk of both feet in |
| And any talk of commitment |
| Leaves you running for the door |
| (Why why do I try to change you try to |
| Try to change you when you really don’t want me to?) |
| (Why why do I try to change you try to |
| Try to change you when you really don’t want me to?) |
| You go back to the women who will dance the dance |
| You go back to your friends who will lick your ass |
| You go back to being so oblivious |
| You go back to the center of the universe |
