Jericho Brown - Lion lyrics

I wish you tamed. I wish what you fear— A night alone in the forest. A father who leaves you there. I wish you Were ten years old again. And in love With Marvin Gaye. I wish you saw his daddy Shoot him. I wish you asthma. An attack In the field. A lump in your chest. A doctor Who won't touch it. I wish you'd live forever Afraid of dying. See the circus and be content. Animals crawling like infants for the men Who made them. I wish you would Sniff a man. I wish his whip Sharper than fangs. I wish you could know How bite-less I feel, the mouth I don't close, his head in my throat
