I was so ******* done So **** exhausted So I locked up my memories In the sweet little chest With golden filigree And a burgundy base A bit of raised embossing And an engraving that read, "Do not open, For these are incapable of cherishment" I set it on the highest shelf Of the unused linen closet And I lit a candle Placed it on the shelf beneath And locked the door I walked away for an hour or so But the candle had died So in my fit of anger I ran to the furnace I opened the door And turned Every thermostat in the house Up to the highest point And just for good measure I lit a match And placed it under the door I went to sleep surrounded by flames To my demise the firemen came And when all that remained Was that **** laughing box They thought I might want to see Because they opened the box Unknowing of the horrors inside And once again Like an LSD addict Knowing the trip might be bad I threw another ******* match

I Threw The Match
I was so ******* done So **** exhausted So I locked up my memories In the sweet little chest With golden filigree And a burgundy base A bit of raised embossing And an engraving that read, "Do not open, For these are incapable of cherishment" I set it on the highest shelf Of the unused linen closet And I lit a candle Placed it on the shelf beneath And locked the door I walked away for an hour or so But the candle had died So in my fit of anger I ran to the furnace I opened the door And turned Every thermostat in the house Up to the highest point And just for good measure I lit a match And placed it under the door I went to sleep surrounded by flames To my demise the firemen came And when all that remained Was that **** laughing box They thought I might want to see Because they opened the box Unknowing of the horrors inside And once again Like an LSD addict Knowing the trip might be bad I threw another ******* match
