Over sweetened Fall decay Covered up in caramel Flannel sheets line freezing beds That rot from the inside out I, too unwind this way And walk on red, yellow leaves the same day In black boots I bought to repel the rain I chew on candy apples My teeth are weak where they start at the roots They glisten on the surface Someday they grow too fragile To stay in place Fall decay Covered up in caramel I miss the feeling of holding hands The empty half of my bed looks quite a lot like hell Fall decay Covered up in caramel I have a feeling in my gut From swallowing my pride and ignoring your call Fall decay Over sweetened I wish I'd taken care of these cavities
