Ugly

from Full Of Gentle by Katie Dill

/

about

(have you ever been a prisoner?)

lyrics

i am far too clean
straight lines and straighter teeth
no-thought, simple themes
am i runnin' from a dream?

wake up

and i won't rest until my legs are slender seaweed
no i won't stop until my voice cracks like a dry leaf
my skin will cover light gray clouds over black seas
within my blood'll be the poison green of envy
oh, ugly...
so ugly.

am i gettin' anywhere?
burrs and needles in my hair
but will my broken feet
ever meet the concrete street

again eventually

and i won't stop until my legs are slender seaweed
no i can't rest until my throat is cracked like dry leaves
my skin will cover like a gray sky over black seas
and within my blood'll be the poison green of envy
oh ugly, ugly
oh ugly, ugly
yes, ugly, ugly, ugly...

my mind is made up and i'm takin' my own life, now,
into my hands and pushin poetry and pounds out.
well fingersfeet are only fingersfeet if you let them be
but fingersfeet have always been a great deal
more to me

oh ugly
ugly
ugly
ugly
