T’DAY everythin’s a shade of off-white
Like grainy movies binged in the late-night
Comin’ to’s a little fuzzy
Got me asking ‘really was he’?
Did you notice me last night
Turnin’ over that gaslight
Needin’ you to chef solo
But you jus’ flake off sayin’ ‘dunno’?
Roll those eyes, not a sure sight
Dash’a shade ‘n honey seasonin’ our plight
Can’t take it with a grain, but I’ll take it as a salt
What we bakin’ up today, this elemental gestalt?
Foldin’-in misconceptions, we crack our little talk
Deflection, misdirection, ‘Frankenstein’ can walk
Again ‘n again, sparkin’ garish appetites
Catalogin’ cataclysmic insights.
I’m takin’ all the pain, even assault
Goin’ mad t’day doin’ mental somersaults
Over soured dreams, curdled hindsights,
Read the recipe – needs some rewrites.
