Put It Off

I wrote unfriendly things,
truly cruel,
on the day that you were born
to prove that words
cannot touch beauty
but I was torn
I put it off, I put it off,
I put it off again

I made degenerate art
for the religious right
on the day that you were born
I had passion to experiment
but I was torn
I put it off, I put it off,
I put it off again

I played Love Tara
by Eric's Trip
on the day that you were born
I had to find the cuteness
in the unadorned
but I was torn
I put it off, I put it off,
I put it off again
I put it on, I put it on,
I put it on again
