foul weather friends
creep in with the clouds
misery keeps company
on the inside looking out
“i’d pull all the teeth
from your open mouth
before i’d ever let you frown”
it’s all gore from here on out
you are always looking down
you are always looking for
pieces of me you long to carve out
you are always looking down on me
on me
heavensent friends
descend from clouds
hiding fangs behind kind hands
you can hardly hide your smile
“i’d rather see the frown
torn straight from your mouth,
than think i’d ever let you down”
friends from above
keep me from looking up
i can’t ever be like them
if i don’t learn to stomach blood
“you could be happy,
smiling with all your teeth,
but then why would you need me?”
