I tried to live my life like a cat Sleeping sixteen hours a day The damn kids yank my tail, dress me up And the end of my nine lives is on the way I tried to live my life like a dog Hanging my head out the window But bees flew in my mouth Before I was abandoned on skid row I tried to live my life like a beaver Chewing down the hardest wood I could find But I got splinters in my lips And a stick to the eye left me blind I tried to live my life like a snake Spitting venom in the face of my enemies But I got stuck in some bird netting And the pigeons started to peck at me I tried to live my life like a goldfish Swimming in repetitive circles But my bowl sprung a leak And I got air in my gills I tried to live my life like a bear Growling at those who got too close But I was caught by a tranquilizer dart And now I'm held captive, for pictures I pose Of all the things I've tried to be The one thing left to try is being me

For every lie there are ten truths Some are new and some are used What you get is what you see Try to kill me with your honesty A life full of betrayals and deceit One without these is never complete The truth will teach you forgiveness A lie's just a direct shot to the chest Lip licking lies Taste like burnt eggs and sriracha Spicy and morose Smells like a skunk got ya Tearing at your throat With pastel painted nails A flesh necklace hangs Where once a lie regaled A true lie will always find fault Molesting the mind with doubt Honesty is my religion I live it quite devout

Precancerous With no prerequisite Calm before chaos as errant cells prey on Death multiplies Sending systems into overdrive A body attacked from within Nowhere to hide from the murderous inner twin Silent dysplasia A perpetrating polyp Feeding on this life Slow, steady, and quiet Cancer potential A diseased premonition The anger has finally overcome Now it penetrates every symptom Like menstruation It will return Now or then depends No telling when An aggressive ambush of a colon beaten into submission Immunosuppressants Speed the growth of malignance
