Stay inside.

Go for a ride.

Kingdom come.

Yes, I tried.

Licking the thorns

Of a red, red rose.

Never surmising

Of what I suppose.

All of my clothes

Stained and soiled,

If they were eggs,

They would be boiled.

Car crash fever,

Totaled now.

Such a teaser,

Go to the show.

Saw one for only

Seven thou-.

Miles on it,

Hundred fifty thou-.

Wonder what

You’d think is best.

What I need

Is just a rest.

First I’ve got

To buy a car.

Then I’ll think

About tomorrow.

A piano-worth of weight

Pulls me down into a chasm.

I speed through the depths,

Falling in freezing wind.

I scream,

And my voice is swallowed up

By the mountain around me.

Tears run down my face,

When I hit the ground.

My legs have collapsed beneath me.

I cannot stand the force of the impact.

No one knows I am here.

I’m alone and broken.

What will I do?

Laying on the grass,

I summon your spirit back to me.

Can you feel the blast

Of the chilly winter wind?

Come with me to the end

Just wind up your mind

And let it all go.

Do you feel the change of pace

Echoing through this silly place?

Empty screams echo off the walls

Of my simple soul, at night. It crawls.

The weeds from my garden

Creep up my legs. They twist around

My knocking knees. I count the cries

I hear in my head. I can’t imagine

What’s filled me with dread.

I don’t know if I’m alive or dead.

Give unto me some wine and bread.
