Wait... I've been feeling pretty lonely painting portraits of full-length mirrors I've been searching without direction A vampire painting their own reflection Waiting will be the death of me I've craved affection for my entire life Like a ship steering towards the rocks without its guiding light Unless told Otherwise Don't become attached But I always do exactly that Now the birds sing, especially the blue jays Hinting at affection, chanting out the coordinates Then the cat, of course, sets its course to the chorus of singing birds Claws their beak, killed with teeth, and then it's placed in front of me Now I'm coerced in a corner by a serpent in a circle Cutting incorrect shapes in the center of an apple Pull a rabbit from the foxhole, Light a candle in my castle Let the cattle graze the pasture, left me drowning underwater It's an honor to choke on these feathers But I want a red bird, not a dead blue bird I want affection, not just attention I want the painting, not just the portrait I want the voyage, not just the shipwreck I want the feeling without the addiction Isn't this what you've always wanted How does it feel to have your questions answered When I'm done and feel complete I see my reflection watching me wait I've envisioned Affection as a blood red bird Slicing my heart with its feathers as sharp as swords The blue bird taunts in songs as I try to escape But I'm captured in my own cage and I'm told it's too late Unless told Otherwise... wait
