The Imperatives

Rainer Maria

when we can't begin

unless it's with an argument

we're losing out on

love for the sake of it



I was thinking we can go and live

in a monastery

throw away the imperatives

make our pockets empty



'cuz I'm feeling bankrupt

and I'm losing speed

and I don't wanna hold on

to anything



when I misbehaved

to get what I wanted

was that wrong when what I wanted was

love and affection



let's get out

let's get out

let's get out

let's get out



I was thinking we can go and live

in a monastery
