Maternal Instinct

What they say is true

You look better in pieces

It’s too difficult to grasp

That

I don’t get enough

From a dated board game

If you look far enough up my nose

You may just see my brain

But inside you’re just as blind as I thought

Whatever you do,

You can’t call it love

So full of today

But yesterday is just as important as tomorrow

I live in a big house

But I sleep in a small box

Everything is so empty its full

And if I let it all catch fire

I’m sure there wouldn’t be much to burn

I turn to the left

And the clock keeps ticking

But is anyone keeping time?

Always tripping up

Takes a toll on your feet

You could trace it all back to a poloroid

But no one has the energy to try

Confusion is trite

Do not, see not

You always taught me

To never let the truth get in the way of your story

And always keep the TV on

Just as long as nobodys watching

Unscrew the lightbulb

And the entire world is yours

Everything looks prettier when the lights are out

I always needed to try so hard

But the clock kept ticking

And no one kept time

Sleep before you wake up

But understand

That it’s to hard  to run in your dreams

And even when you try to open your eyes

Theres too much holding them shut

Live you life

If you call it that

Separate, but not together

Conjoined

And you are alone

In a valley of dolls
