Not Soft
You want fuzzy
go check the dryer for lint
You want my head
stick your finger in the socket instead

You want soft
go look in the past for a little one
You want my childhood
the fruited plain harvested dies
doesn't renew again

You want sugar
taste my strawberry balm lips of '77
You want my lips now
better have all your injections
and mouthwash
to get rid of the taste

I could speak very plainly to you
to help you understand
I have spoken very softly to you
but you misunderstand

a boy raped by life
a man who remains in strife
a boy the man still shelters in misery

not worthy of your adoration
from these flaws
not worthy of praise because
he's opened up

a shadow on your walls
too hard for a heart that's overdo
for a checkup

because I can't make you understand, or you just don't want to hear.
I won't say you are ignorant. It's probably me.
