P ages and pages and pages of poetry

I am not doing so well

Te ach me the Bible, the scriptures, disciples

and baby teach me how to spell

My mother and father they g ot for a daughter

I wish that I could have been more

They were so proud when I l earned how to walk

but since then I just lay on the floor

Then I lay

R osary's safe and my pillow is hair

I'm coming to town, I'll call you when I get there

N ightmare explosions, and gentle corrosions

I never back down from a dare

But you wasted the gift that I tr ied hard to give

and you t hink that it's all so unfair

but after you spit and you st ab and you seethe

do you really expect me to care?

Then I lay

Over and under, backwards and blundering

Let me get out of your hair

M aking me hate, I hope that you're wondering

How will I ever repair?

But you'll be so sorry when th ey find my body

R iddled with all your complaint

And all of your smoke and your m ind is a joke

Did it hurt you so much that you lay?

Then I lay

I lie down h ere, x2

I lie with the fl ies

and the lilies you d espise.
