Road-killed kitty on the street Who had the yearn to run, the yearn to fleet The car that this kitty hoped to beat The car's tires began to heat Poor kitty's life had been chosen to deplete Road-killed kitty on the street Poor kitty never ended up being able to fleet The car hit, the kitty could not run fast enough to beat The car that skids in the blazing heat The kitty's life did deplete Deplete, deplete, deplete The kitty couldn't outrun the heat Of the car that swerved to beat Poor kitty in its attempt to fleet Poor kitty that lies dead on the street

Road Killed Kitty
A lamb is caught in a wire "This lamb is quite a crier." It yells out like a choir Its leg is cut up and sliced "Ha! That flimsy sheep and the wire are spliced!" I pray for this lamb, its life is in christ Or should I help this lamb free? "Oh, it probably is infested with flea!" But what if that lamb was me? I wouldn't want someone just to see I would want help, and cry out and plea That poor lamb is trapped "You think you can help it? The lamb's leg is wrapped!" I see that it's stuck "All you can say is: Good luck!" But I have to help it! "You can't help, you might as well quit!" That poor, poor lamb Flocked sweet this little lamb Pale white and wanting help, but this lamb This lamb could be crazy This lamb could be lazy This lamb might eat all of my rations All because I had some compassion I could die in this winter from this lamb Well this lamb doesn't even give a **** About me, so why should I it? At this rate, I might as well scram. Scram so no one will see my character They will see me, and assume that this lambs life was all my factor. So I steer over to help it Realizing that all that matters is that I was compassionate To this lamb caring, so it can live another day

Lamb Caught In Barbed Wire
Circus peanuts cover the ground Sur-kus pee-nuhts kuhvr thuh grownd Clowns run round and round Klownz ruhn rownd ahnd rownd I get engulfed in the clowns As my heart pumps they grow closer Tiny cars and loud noises Tai-nee kaarz ahnd lowd noy-zuhz Make me jump with genuine joy Mayk mi juhmp with jen-yoo-uhn joy The made-up faces in bright white As they laugh and smile and scream all night I bite the circus peanut I bite thuh sur-kus pee-nuhts The foamy fake squeaky texture fills me with bliss Thuh fow-mee fayk skwee-kee teks-chr filz mi with blis The circus is a nightmare it seems Clowns get close and I let out a final scream Engulfed in clowns Bright white nightmare as they laugh and scream Smile made-up Clowns get heart as they laugh as They get close As it seems I scream Circus Peanuts Parade

Circus Peanut Parade
Maggots crawl and squirm Their grubby teeth firm On the things I loved very young Bright colors hopeful days Are now covered in the dung of those filthy maggots in their craze The maggots eat away at my youth I sit as they bite and gnaw At the things I found peace in like a stuffed bears paw As I cry out for help my parents drown themselves in gin They start to infest They start to hive They lay their eggs as if they are the best In my youth the maggots thrive The maggots eat away at my youth I used to skip and enjoy fun days in the sun But now I sit alone in my room waiting for the day to be done People speak of happy memories when they were youthful But I had to get by in my youth with being untruthful But it's become too late now The maggots have invaded every part leaving me to let out a pitiful vow The maggots eat away at my youth

Maggots Cover My Youth
I find it truly funny You were such a dummy To believe that you'd expect remorse? Truly funny Your obituary is truly crummy With all of the people you loved so dearly, well, now you're a mummy I touch the ground you were layed and it is coarse You dying is so comedic I hear people whisper that they hung around you for money Truly funny Your feelings were hoarse I'd like to reinforce That your death was completely deserved, and my life is now sunny You dying is so comedic

Dried Out Flowers In The Obituary
Why should I get up in the morning when I know it will be rough? Why should I get up in the morning knowing the day will be tough? Why should I roll out of bed just for a chance? Why should I have to get out of bed when in bed it feels like a dance? Why should I show up late when they'll sense my bluff? Why do I do this to myself even if it feels like a trance? I need to wake up Wake up from the sleep that seems so sweet Wake up to the people I need to greet Wake up to reality that must be told Wake up to my life that's beginning to unfold Wake up which is what I need Wake up which is what I'll succeed Wake up and roll out of bed Wake up and start to use my head I need to wake up What will my friends say when I show up? What will they think when they see me? Will they see me and fill up my cup? Will they have smiles full of glee? Will they be disappointed in me and their feelings blow up? I'm going to stay in bed another day

What Have I Given Up Because Of Me?
I close my eyes and try to rest In my bed thoughts infest Infest my mind with dancing clowns Infest my mind with lots of frowns Colors and people and sounds O my Thoughts twist and turn and begin to fly Rest ever not so peaceful As people speak of sweet sweet dreams The word rest makes me want to scream I feel my headache start to pound As I lay in bed I can't help but hear a sound A sound a thought a thing that keeps me up I can't sleep even with a cup A cup of chamomile that's supposed to calm It burns my thoughts and floods my palm A cup of caffeine that's supposed to wake Does nothing except for make me quake Rest ever not so peaceful I lay in bed when tidied up But the thought of sleep is so abrupt I twist and turn while others rest But I try to think and it's empty I feel so ever blessed That for once I can sleep and not lay in bed tensely

Sleep Believed To Be Peaceful
My love sits gracefully in a basket O how I wish my love would waste away in a casket Repeating the comment of my love for thee In the casket I sit while my heart gets consumed by maggots I keep my love for you quiet My heart begs for me to riot Riot against the love that I keep to me But I wish my hearts pumping around you would finally come to a silence Repeating comments told that sound incredibly resistant O how their feelings seem so inconsistent My feelings for them should be set free And the bird in the cage would float O so very distant How my love for them repeatedly marches onward But when near them I become awkward That bird is joyous and full of glee I will hopefully let that bird become a loud and exuberant songbird

Repeating Comments
Tie me up against a cross until there's rust Let me be tortured and stared at until I am no longer alive Freedom screams for me, but the freedom I can no longer trust My soul has become bones and dust A husk of how I used to be no longer able to thrive Tie me up against a cross until there's rust Rinse my soul with holy water and I won't fuss In the holy water I would willingly dive Freedom screams for me, but the freedom I can no longer trust The life I've had shows no lust I see no lust for life where I used to strive Tie me up against a cross until there's rust Leave my body there to decompose leaving my loved ones let out a cuss Leave it up there until maggots and beatles start to hive Freedom screams for me, but the freedom I can no longer trust Crucify me till the sun wakes and goes back to rest I don't want to live with this when I didn't need to go past five Tie me up against a cross until there's rust Freedom screams for me, but the freedom I can no longer trust

Let Me Be Crucified Till I Feel Free
My fingers etch against my skin my fingers etch against my skin I feel the bumps and dips of my youth i feel the bumps and dips of my youth I feel every imperfection, as I hope to change my life I look up at myself in the mirror i look up at myself in the mirror I see my reflection look shamefully back to me i see my reflection look shamefully back to me The poise of my stance stand, and I hope that I will eventually become perfect I smile to hope to see myself i smile to hope to see myself I hope that tomorrow I will be someone that I want to see i hope that tomorrow i will be someone that i want to see To see myself become the pouted person I dream And in my dreams I see someone that I deserve to be Dreams I dream I hope to change I deserve every imperfection Pouted perfect poise stance My life I see someone eventually Deserve hope and I feel someone Dream dreams Dream dreams Poised Perfect Pouted
