Melatonin

an absence of trust found simultaneous with a brand spankin’ new hatred in the air wrapped up in a sinister sense of pain brought on by old heartache led to the last drop of life by a marching legion of bad memories LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT (with all the mean motion in the world & all the time to get the fight right) sharpening their razorblades lighting more torches loading more guns & stocking up more bombs KILLING ALL THE LOVE & POLLUTING ALL THE AIR ABOVE carrying a list of those to waste like kleenex every name scratched out except yours seems today is your lucky day today is the way it all goes away & melatonin isn’t gonna help because these things make their ways into your dreams & there you’ll be strung up in somebody’s garage like a deer being gutted out by a serial killer who has just locked the door rubbing her/his hands together like Mr. Smithers cuz’ he’s got all the time in the world to get it right--- melatonin ain’t gonna finish you out tonight.
