Miss Black America – 5X5
Music & Lyrics: Seymour Glass
They said, “never pass up on a good thing”
Like it was all just a matter of asking
And kissing cold, dead lips and hands and asses
I built a legoland of fortune
I stuck posters on my wall to worship
Tori’s hair and Brad Pitt’s six-pack
Where is the sin?
Is it worse not to like yourself
Or pretend that everything’s just fine?
Full steam ahead
5×5
Full steam ahead, boys
5×5
They took notes.
It felt, I told them, like I was failing an audition
They said that was not how this should feel
I filled a questionnaire out for them
I held a match under my foreskin
I left a scar I hoped would never, ever heal
I am alive
Because I can’t be satisfied
To rest on your laurels is to die inside
Full steam ahead
5×5
Full steam ahead, boys
5×5
