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
