My Behind
I know this ain't a remedy,
Don't need you to remind me,
I'm calling back on a memory,
On a time when I was a friend,
A normal person with normal things,
Like a good girl to stand by me,
I used to need more happening,
To keep my head, my constant brain bleed.
I think about this one girl,
She kept a dead rose in her bedroom,
I used to feel the way it looked,
Brittle and drained of all color,
I think again of an old friend,
He had scars that marked his stomach,
He was older than his age,
He was much bigger than 26.
One day at a time kind of alright,
Keep it going ahead, staying out of my behind.
