Where do you go

When all love is lost?

Down the sewer drain

And into rat's den


Eyes dried out

From LCD screens

A heart cut apart

From day after day

Of sugar coated disasters

And soft spun needles

Stabbing right in

Through the ribs and into the eyes

Tired of reading

Pill bottle labels under fluorescent lights


Down in rat's den

Stumbling through pipes

Dressed in all pink

Purple, blue, green, white


Come pick your poison

Take the eyes from a bunny

And the heart of a dove

Sew yourself back together

With pink string

Cleaning blood with cotton balls

After, your uniform stained with sewage

Through all small corners

The rats will come out

And eat up the old parts

That you have discarded

Before climbing back up the drain
