Ever I have One choice on my plate Ever to taste The cold dish I served to you Mushroom stew With nightshade tea Stinging nettles And salads of ivy I'm guilty I poisoned your glass I poisoned our past I murdered you Don't fret just yet You've had vengeance Tenfold retribution And never is it over I will ever taste The sweetest dessert The icy plate The meal best served cold

Ever and Never
I used to dance with suicide I used to walk with God Balanced on the razor's edge I never thought I'd fall I was a graceful acrobat And life was my trapeze I loved to know I could let go And end it all with ease But I looked down and saw a net And I began to cry For then I knew my escape route Had simply passed me by

An Acrobat Was I
Honeybee hands Follow honeybee eyes Sticky sweet, all for the hive He snapped her stem, He plucked her leaves And died of poison from her thorns And so she built Upon his knees A house for boys to play in

The Sweetest Flower
I'm trapped in the structure Of this, that, and the other thing. I'm bounded by lines And wrapped up in strings Your regulations Stake me to the earth I may never see Society's worth. I'm tired of laws That do not make sense I'm sick of these rules Of white picket fence Lives, lived Vicariously Through those who break rules, Through those who are free

Thoughts of a Law-Abiding Citizen
I wish I were green Or lime or chartreuse Or really any color but me So that all that anyone would see Is that I'm different on the outside And it wouldn't be so hard to hide The fact that inside, I long to fly

Green
Headlights, you are beautiful I do plan to slip into you Over you and through you You enchant me like the sunrise That I may never see And the flowers that my loved ones Will never leave for me Sirens, you are maddening lovely More as treacherous damsels Than the klaxons you are I can't hear you singing But I know you're not far Composing your serenade Over the wreck of my car

Oncoming Traffic
I'm so tiredI can't sleepSlipping deepInto that holeMy socks have holesIn all the heelsIt really feelsLike I'm floatingOn a boatOn the seaSail with meInto the sunWon't it be fun?Just you and IAnd the big blue skyClouds scudding byAcross the blueJust me and youUntil we're throughWith being usDon't make a fussIt won't be longUntil we're goneAnd this one songIs all that's leftOf you and IAnd that big blue sky

At An Impasse
Wishing on a falling star How I wonder what you are Clean cup, clean cup, acid green cup Take a seat now, darling, drink up Take a sip, dear, close your eyes And I'll slip you a sweet surprise Make a wish, put faith in lies Just one sip to realize You're the reason Alice cries Magic mushroom, ten feet tall Bad decisions come to call Flying high for all to see All because it said "Drink me." Take a sip, dear, close your eyes And I'll slip you a sweet surprise Make a wish, put faith in lies Just one sip to realize You're the reason Alice dies Drink up.
