trammel

the taxonomy of normality
the taxonomy of normality
tear off the wrapper the world has made
tear off the wrapper the world has made
the world made of normality has
the taxonomy, tear the wrapper off

the trammels of a conventional life
the trammels of a conventional life
fettering you to an idea of who they wish you were
fettering you to an idea of who they wish you were
you wish an idea of you who were, of a life
fettering the conventional trammels to they

packaged like a doll and destiny determined
packaged like a doll and destiny determined
break the cellophane and breathe
break the cellophane and breathe
breathe, doll, and break a destiny
determined and packaged like the cellophane

the cellophane wrapper of the world
trammels destiny and normality
a packaged taxonomy determined to breathe
the wish of an off doll like a tear
break the fettering life of conventional they
the idea who has made and you were you
