The warmth and earthy scent of the forest floor is gone and instead, It's ashtrays and sore eye lids I don't Know how to dislodge the small, grey stone in my throat sometimes The stone chokes me I wish I could peel back my skin like a spring onion, And reveal and fresh new me, As if the broken, beige bit never existed I love The sound of washing machines going round and round, And round and round and round and round I think About the tree trunks and buttercups and melted ice creams and as the air warms like this I feel sick and Foolish, And I can't look at things through my eyes I want You to be happy and I'll try And be like a spring onion, All shiny, and green and white.

Spring Onion
The warmth and earthy scent of the forest floor is gone and instead, It's ashtrays and sore eye lids I don't Know how to dislodge the small, grey stone in my throat sometimes The stone chokes me I wish I could peel back my skin like a spring onion, And reveal and fresh new me, As if the broken, beige bit never existed I love The sound of washing machines going round and round, And round and round and round and round I think About the tree trunks and buttercups and melted ice creams and as the air warms like this I feel sick and Foolish, And I can't look at things through my eyes I want You to be happy and I'll try And be like a spring onion, All shiny, and green and white.
