Sleep For Dinner

Can I sleep in your bed?

and when I crawl out in the morning,

Can I stay inside your head?

and he is screaming and crying for help,

and maybe halfway through, it has more to do with me killing him,

Then it ever did protecting myself,

and I believe that, yeah, Dad, maybe no one is perfect,

But I believe that you were pushing your luck,

It just sucks it played out like this,

You are my earth, you are my sun,

I love your fingers, I love your toes,

The back of your head, the tip of your nose,

and you are the reason I'm smiling,

When there is nothing to smile about,

Yeah, you are the reason I'm smiling,

It was held there in secret, hard to see anything in the candlelight,

Now there is melted wax all over my floor,

and the scent of incense is rising up from underneath the door,

Now, maybe it was not as serious as I am making it sound,

Just, you and me getting high and hanging out,

Getting high and messing around,

Getting high, tryna figure it out.

To sleep on a twin-sized mattress,

In somebody's attic or basement my whole life.

Never graduating up in size to add another,

And my nightmares will have nightmares every night.

Would you kick me in the face, please?

It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry,

and as my gums begins to bleed,

The words will fall like teeth,

I love girls with ex-boyfriends that they aren't really over,

and I love New Mexico,

I love places I've never been,
