Cooking with a swing-set and a slide
Or am I?
A playground can look so grim in the dead of night.
And I don't remember if I woke up today
Am I dreaming?
If I am could someone please wake me, and tell me I'm okay
"Show me the way"
"Dear, come take my hand"
Creating the childhoods we never had
"Just one more hit, dear, show me you can"
And drift away from this life of loneliness.
Notches on belts and bedposts
Is that all I am?
"Girl, you know you're my number one"
And I give in again
The demon at the apex of this spiral, opens wide and swallows me whole
And he spits me out in a dumpster just north of Bloor.
"Show me the way"
"Dear, come take my hand"
Creating the childhoods we never had
"Just one more hit, dear, show me you can"
And drift away from this life of loneliness.
