He said, today is the first day of the rest of your life
She said, what’s so great about that?
He said, a brand new day to make new choices with each waking breath
She said, nothing could be further from the place where I am at…
The world extends as far and wide as a plummet into the depths
Of pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
He said, he said…
How can you be so cruel to yourself
She said, what do you mean by that?
He said, trust in what you feel in your heart
She said, everything I know I learned from my cat
She said, my hopes extend as far and wide as the space between my breasts
With pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
He said, life is a wheel and death is a mask
And the truth lies somewhere else
She said, that may be all well and fine
But just keep it to yourself…
The world extends as far and wide as a plummet into the depths
Of pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
She said, my hopes extend as far and wide as the space between my breasts
With pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
With pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
With pain and suffering, sorrow, humiliation, and eventually, death
