Everything
tastes so sweet
til
everything falls apart
falls
apart like a house made of sugarcubes
Ants
Crawling up the brick
taking
tiny bites
you're
wasting away but you don't know
and
anyway, you're too weak to fight
And
it's got a funny taste
this
tart they call disgrace
the
lollipop trees
are
covered in ants
and
I'd like to finish the race
press
on toward the goal
but
my trail of crumbs is gone
and
I've been here for too long
and
I've been wondering if this is gonna be the last dance
I
believe that I'm free
free
to wear chains over and over again
I
believe that I'm normal
a
normally strange man
I
look in the mirror
and
don't want to see my reflection
Flooded
with emotion
emotion
that I can't explain
poetry
is an ocean, that I can throw myself into
I
believed such a lie, that time would heal all wounds
and
now when I fall, I act like that's all
and
painful memories consume.
