words k. barker

Happy. Sunshine. Green grass growing.
Smiling faces. Pearlies showing.
Care free. Loving. Rosey red.
To think I let that go to my head.

iwas....
Sunshine pouring through a window, cold
water running down the face of a child
I remember nothing but a breath of air
growing thicker in my lungs.
I think of nothing else, just sordid pleasure with myself
Ooh I can't believe what does man gotta do to get a little nothing but a....

I spit in the face of bigger men
I ran the rat race and I'm still a rat
Yeah, vote for me I'm president, I've..
Walked through your garden and I've
pulled your pedals one by one
she loves me, she loves me not.
And this is what I get to wanna fly
you call it suicide!?

Colors so vivid, just like opening my eyes
for the first time
and I feel closer to god
Can you hear just what I whisper
when I blow out the candles?
You teach me how to swim
then you push me under.
Is nothing left to sacrifice? You've torn me up, now here's your slice.
Fill me up. Suck me dry. Push me off & I can't fly.

i was....
Happy. Sunshine. Green grass growing.
Smiling faces. Pearlies showing.
Care free. Loving. Rosey red.
To think I let that go to my head.
i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was. i was.

Little left but nothing now. Staring through the face of a clown.
As the make-up smears.
Happiness is just a dream living in a man that might seem
put together oh so well.
Everything's so fucking clear.
