Crazy


It's pretty wallpaper in my room
At times I watch it's flowers bloom
I won't eat canned food anymore
The metal has made my mouth sore
Clear is my favorite color today
They sell it in cans that you spray
I hear voices that call me at night
But they never get my name right
My plants need water just like me
Well, they never have to go pee
They tell me I'm out of my mind
We parted ways, it left me behind

The Grooming

 
The fairytales
 
And fables told
 
Entice a child
 
Dreams unfold
 
Whisper kindly
 
Take my hand
 
Footsteps quickly
 
I understand
 
We must hide
 
No longer me
 
With the fairy
 
Flying free
 
All liars lie
 
Tears like rain
 
My innocence
 
An ugly stain
 
Perfect grooming
 
Sweet, sincere
 
Broken promise
 
Love trumphs fear
 
Cycles, circles
 
Changing theme
 
Hands of dread
 
Found my scream
