Amber's Knees: A Matter of Concern

To all my naïveté, I give you no thanks
The hippos are boiling alive in their tanks
I saw it on the TV in the windows of stores
Promising fullness, delivering sores
Crushed by the why
Crushed by the if
Frightened by the nothing
Crushed by the why
Crushed by the if
Frightened by the nothing
Ghost inside a screen, eating like a king
Dripping grapes and suckled pig
Behind the wall, a thing (A thing, a thing, a thing)
A ghost inside a screen, eating like a king
Dripping grapes and suckled pig
Behind the wall, a thing (A thing, a thing, a thing)
Crushed by the why
Crushed by the if
Frightened by the nothing
Crushed by the why
Crushed by the if
Frightened by the nothing
Blind me, faithless, in my seat
A graceful fall, a strangled bleat
Maggots dress up in the meat
I eat, I eat, I eat
