sometimes i wished for peace
i wished for insanity
wish, wish, wish, all meaningless
i wished for meaning-- i
had none-- i had
no point. did i have a
moral compass? i wished my
mama said to eat well and study well
and be well,
so i never told her when i fell
down the stairs
tumbling and tumbling down the bottom
until my bottom was on the floor.
Two twins named Chantelle
with buckets and bells
took to the road
to scoop from the well
bending right over,
Chantelle, who, quite sober,
slipped off the end
and tumbled and fell
All I need is my sanity
With my sanity, I have my peace
And with my peace, I have my mind
And with my mind, I can survive
Because I,
I waver sometimes.
oh, I've thrown too many pennies down the well
and I can almost climb right out of it now.
I'm waiting to get to the top so I can leave
this damaged place I come from.
I don't want to hear you say another word,
