Tribal Scream I know what goes on in your head I know all those characters you’ve created I know all the Hell in your past I know the mishmash of everything                 crammed into your head & I know a part of that is killing you & I want you to let it out & I want you to just open your mouth & let out a tribal                                 never ending scream because I know you I know you’ve got too much life in you I know you’ve got a carbonated soul & I know that one good scream would let you pop the top of you,         like a bottle of Coke-a-cola bubbles of compressed air would be coming out of your mouth                         in your tribal scream I wonder what characters you would spill out I wonder what you would do when you saw what you rejected                                 what you screamed out I wonder if you’d see parts of your past & I wonder if you’d know they were a part of you & try to stuff them back in Copyright Janet Kuypers.
