there's
notes on my pad, a quake in my spine
don't
ask how they got there - i don't think they're mine
quiver,
yeah i feel fine, really
yes
i feel fine, shudder, really but
where
were you when my whole body ached?
where
were you when madness was a headdress
stapled
to my temples, soul sickness
expressed
in mad hat choice, like
there’s
gotta be something wrong
and
if you look too long you’ll catch it too
well
i feel fine, but feel free to stay over there
if
i'm scaring you, didn't mean to, sorry
every
day's been garbage day since
i
don't know when
but
maybe i didn't throw out my brain
like
i thought, looks like
there's
something at the back of the fridge
the
hairy jar of juice on the bottom rack
there’s
beans in my dip, there’s a spring in my step
there’s
spunk on my shirt - i don’t think that it’s mine
it’s
awareness week
at
the awareness fair
i'm
hawking my wares
it’s
awareness with flair
it’s
awareness awareness week, are you aware?
and
it’s a baseball cap, not a thought shield
and
it makes me look less gay, i’m straight by the way
but
i’m trying not to let it get to my head
now
self awareness sold out
and
that’s just as well
cause
there’s other things you ought to try
there's
this theme, there's this party
but
it's sad to think that it might have been nothing but
an
old time caffeine rush, those childhood riffs
when
i spun straw into gold, grooved on gray skies
when
the world didn't see things my way
and
people were cross and country was friendly
it's
sad to think it was only the candybar
i'd
eaten and forgotten
back
when a snickers cost eighty five cents
and
choco wasn't drugs
well
the drugs stopped working
and
the magic isn't real
tarot
says i've still got the power to heal
but
i'll die before finishing med school
