song title / lyrics

"you don't need my affirmation"

you don't need my affirmation,
just a smile of deprecation to my fears

you don't to act peculiar, for
only time will be the ruler as it nears

you are aged in purple sunspots
and enraged in paniced whispers
that you sill can't escape

you don't need excoriation
just a place to build your nation on the page

you don't need to tell me gently
that the waves are incidentally howling wild

you don't need to tend the garden
but lean out to see how far away it flies

you've established prime dominions
you have crumbled tiny kingdoms into rings of dust

you don't need my affirmation
to construct the sad illusion of our love
