No one wants to feel
A gentle love
The just want to
Place their hands on the stove
Hear the sizzle til
They can't take it no more
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart
Ride the carousel
Until it breaks down
Spinning plates
But you're hungry
Right away
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart
Beautiful skin
Covered with skulls
And Hello Kitty
Toasting Marshmallows
Too tight
Comic convection clothes
But when someone
Introduces themself
To you
Flee the party
Without a sound
Tread water
Until you drown
Then wonder why
It always falls apart
Wish you were real
With Me
Yourself
Or anybody
You'll never feel
Contented
The proud parts
Have been cut out
And replaced
Just to steal attention
From your
Heart's
Gaping empty space
Waiting to be filled
With a gentle love
Ride the carousel
Until it breaks down
Spinning plates
But you're hungry
Right now
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart
