An ant and an imp met at the port
but that's not important
Cause had an ally that suited to a T
Once won a derful at a carnival
Once mended a tree that was tremendous
Thing another thing another
sorry if its not one thing its another
I was near to the pie first
In the distance the back was grounded
Sold them the future and they called me a profit
Ted had talons but was so talented
Ore has rested and looks so much better
Being deaf is fine it doesn't define
Watch me take the L he was in a bind
Have tyre tracks across my face
mistaken for a cycle path
Thoughts haunt with no way to make them stop,
1 pill, 2 pills, 3 pills, 4.
The only way to ease the pain is to sedate,
5 pills, 6 pills, 7 pills, then 3 more.
If its not one thing its another,
1 slice, 2 slice, 3 slice, 4.
One failure after another never ending,
5 slice, 6 slice, 7 slice, then 3 more.
Can never get ahead of it,
1 burn, 2 burns, 3 burns, 4.
For it’s a tormenting cycle,
5 burns, 6 burns, 7 burns, then 3 more.
Just want to be sane again,
1 gasp, 2 gasps, 3 gasps, 4.
I wish I could start over,
5 gasps, 6 gasps, 7 gasps, till there's no more.
