Parable
Where do we begin
Wonder is a sin
A dog that we name dogma
The cat we won't forgive
We'd go outside to play
But it's not safe today
Brother's eyes watering urge
Grown-ups sigh imaginary words
But they would not desert me
They would not desert me
They will never hurt me
We will run away
And find our safe place
Somewhere to stay

Animal, order of control
The last sapien in rule
Implement the plan inherited
Indoctrination fails you
The clan will fall

Oh, imposed identities
Oh, your viewpoint narrowing
Oh, to shed formality
Oh oh oh, the leap from certainty
Start a fire, abruptly we conspire
Subdividing just as soon
Uncontrolled, the flash-mob uncontrolled
A flash-fire briefly fueled by rage or wrath
Oh, reality now dull
Oh, the image more beautiful
Oh, the scandal society of ritual truth burning

They will not desert me
They will not desert me
They would never hurt me
We will run away
And find our safer place
Somewhere
