The rain pitter patters
on my not-tin roof...

The tired clock's fingers reach,
reach for the stars, reach into space...

Can sweetness kill a girl?
if so, kill me now...

Critisize a little harder,
I know just how that feels...

Fly away, my little sparrow,
I suppose you're truly free...

Veneer to mask the pain,
it has become a cage with iron bars...

Remember to remind me,
it's tragically important you don't forget...

There's a place far away
in a land long forgot...

There's a place God must've blessed
where the water swirls like sand...

A key is just a key
until it bites into a thumb...

Talk big and watch the sky bleed,
mirrored in the lake that is my eyes...

Delicacies turn to ashes.
Quiet paper rests on fragile tongues...
