you who the know and lie;
that wily throat
has a denser tongue
and betrays your fostered eyes.
And here ends forgery
of desperate, wounded cool;
pitter patter
back to crowds
a disarmed and tainted fool...

You know who
you who the know and lie;
that wily throat
has a denser tongue
and betrays your fostered eyes.
And here ends forgery
of desperate, wounded cool;
pitter patter
back to crowds
a disarmed and tainted fool...
