I couldn\'t escape the spider laugh
Melting Athens wax as hot as milk glass
Like the steeplejack with cherry-red cheeks
Metal welded, building cities with my hands
I sculpted a marshmallow island
It\'s my kingdom
A blissful Utopia
Home for fat buddhas
With bones, teeth, and brass instruments
I breathe in and I exhale cast-iron winds
The clouds sit in the sky like a premonition
I feel like a piece of the puzzle has gone missing
Like I feel redundant and photosensitive
But I\'m shot through with temporary happiness
Dissolving into nothing like a snowflake
I lay awake like plasma
Thinking
My younger sister is as cute as a button
As sweet as nectar with an irreplaceable smile
I remember when she was small enough to fit in my arms
Like a perfect little doll, and time stopped for a second
When I looked at her, it was my first time being a brother
I melted like butter, like Athens wax
I didn\'t have much to say
I have a cave for a heart, it\'s deep and black
But I don\'t like to think about things like that
I\'d rather think about sweet things
Fond memories and ice-cream dreams
Hot guys wearing loveheart shaped sunglasses
Lemon sunshine and molasses
I\'m pretty content in the kingdom I\'ve made
Unless something big happens or I\'m bent out of shape
Multitasking like an octopus, late at night
I can hear a deafening whistle twirl like a fairytale
This is real life, not a dress rehearsal
Whenever the princess Jew demands soft fruit
There\'s an earthquake in my room
Butterflies flittering at the holy mountain
At the fountain of gold, feeling young like a daisy
I\'m as white as the moon with skeleton arms
With a fervour for living
Like a Lucky Star at Mossvale
Free in the fields, I walked along the path
By the old and wise trees, looking at the acres
One thousand footsteps from the farmhouse
With murder on my mind
My eyes peeled open and I heard voices in the trees
But it wasn\'t coming from my head
There was a throng of stationary idiots
Acting like harebells, unaware I was there
Taking the long way home
How can my life be such a mess?
I left with my purchase like a seagull
Walked down the street like Andy Warhol
Thinking
How can my life be such a mess?
