Poison Planet

My parents were selfish

So they fucked in the spring.

Next winter I was born

Into a Poison Planet.

My mother tried the best she could

But wound up settling for second place.

While my father turned the other cheek

Towards the race tracks, and red lights.

My mother was selfish

And tried to do the best for us

But in reality, was only good for her.

So she left me on the floor

With the dogs

To get drunk of toddlers tears

In this Poison Planet.

My father was selfish

So he moved into a den downtown

Where the curtains never learned to draw.

Forgotten not in his heart

But in his mind.

Left with the wolves

To peer through the glass

Darkly

In this Poison Planet.

To carry on living

Doesn't make much sense anymore

In this Poison Planet.

Please take my hand in yours

Lead me to the moon,

So I can finally breathe.

And sit below the deepest craters

Where I can gaze down on

My Poison Planet.

My Poison Planet

My Poison Planet would swallow you whole

My Poison Planet can't keep me down

Poison Planet.

My Poison Planet.
