Laugh At This
Sad, a little slice
Something’s wrong, something is wrong
Aha, need a slice, I see
Cry
Pick
Scab
Bleed
Oh no
What now?
Missing something, oh yes, slice
Missing a little slice
The sky is the limit
Yes the sky, up, look up
The sky
Falling from the sky
I’m falling
Is it raining?
Is that rain?
No, no rain, it is not raining
Tears
Just my tears
Kiss my tears
NO! NO!
The rain, kiss the rain
Yes, the rain
No, no time
All the time, no time, no
Leave, leave now, can’t stay
No, can’t, no, I can’t
Have to stay, slice, yes, stay for the slice
Down, look down, there, look
I’m down, down here; I’m there
Down, so far down, so far
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Just cry, only cry, yes
More, yes, more cry, that’s it
Oh, slice, slice, and slice
Yes
Bleed
Pick
Look
Cry
Slice, bleed, pick, look, cry
Breathe; take a breath, breath
Let it out, all out, all of it
Let everything flow out
So hard, it’s so hard, everything
Just so hard, just so…
Better?
NO!
Slice, need a little slice, only a little
Yes, like that, that’s it
A little more, just a little, more
Clear the eyes; yes there, look
It’s flowing, all flowing out, everything
Just let it flow
Cry
Only cry
Wait!
I was wrong, need a little slice
Slice
Yes
SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!
Just do it, do it, now
Yes, cry, cry, yes
CRY!
