outside: Help needed! Feed the children! inside: weak knees, white apple flesh skin (it's not their fault they were born in a doll house) outside: empty soup kitchens, blind volunteers inside: not enough light to grow, tiny bones, tug dead hair, find something to do outside: God help the children! inside: minds buzzing for frantic change outside: give them more make them eat inside: shivering mirrors, shivering thoughts, sickness and rotten fridges outside: you're perfect the way you are inside: change me, hair pieces all over the ground outside: life! inside: hidden in a rib cage outside: just try inside: filmy eyes splatter raindrops, fall into the black lagoon bulging from beneath

america's starving children
outside: Help needed! Feed the children! inside: weak knees, white apple flesh skin (it's not their fault they were born in a doll house) outside: empty soup kitchens, blind volunteers inside: not enough light to grow, tiny bones, tug dead hair, find something to do outside: God help the children! inside: minds buzzing for frantic change outside: give them more make them eat inside: shivering mirrors, shivering thoughts, sickness and rotten fridges outside: you're perfect the way you are inside: change me, hair pieces all over the ground outside: life! inside: hidden in a rib cage outside: just try inside: filmy eyes splatter raindrops, fall into the black lagoon bulging from beneath
