Raymond Lyrics by Benjamin Bock

Unfamiliar States

2021

The fortress is empty
The gate's been unlocked
I'm leaving you hanging with a full stop and a hard cock
Confront and elate me, darling
Text me when you're blue
My schedule is yours, I still wake up at two-thirty-two
My night's been electric, darling
I'm electric, too
I'm electric to you
"It's a pleasure to meet" you told me
Though we'd met twice before
I was sizing your boyfriend up, you yelped and ran for the door
So now we meet in our private places
Though we meet miles apart
A solipsism, a desperate mess, a triumph of brain over heart
Who am I in your mind now, darling
Is it "darling" or less
And if the servers all crumble will there still be you and me left
Who am I in your heart now, darling
Just like a pet, or a pest
I dream of the way I know you more by knowing less
On the shelf, my patience to the test
Use me as your supplemental man
Nothing over cordial and nothing less
I'm your doting online on-call therapist
I met you too late I figure
Was I born just too young
Still I dream of your scent, the undertones, and heat off your tongue
Wonder how he fucks you, darling
Like a straight man at best
I pray someday we get brave, I need another home to wreck
I took your advice, my savior
Now I drink when I write
I hope that it's working and these confessions come out right
You're my one source of solace, darling
Little saint so divine
You request my services when you run out of wine
When your husband ain't got time
On the shelf, my patience to the test
Use me as your supplemental man
Nothing over cordial and nothing less
I'm your doting online on-call therapist
Afternoons
Tell me something kind and overdo
Shelter him from me sheltering you
Drain me of my purpose and elude
And I'll be true
Just use me in the way you always do
With you my biggest fear's having no use
Pixelized and quivering in my room
The fortress is empty
But the gate has been locked
You're leaving me hanging with a full stop and a hard cock
