melatonin Lyrics

Here's the thing

I've got too much forest missing

For to see the tree

It's just content without context

Like the birds and bees

But I kept stinging birds

And then they'd murder me

Swallow me down then throw me up

Into some baby beaks

But I keep coming back each spring

Honey you heard me right

So don't dampen your brow

Over the afterlife

I've seen heaven and there

Wasn't another soul in sight

So count your blessings

If you are a cat with just 9 lives

Otherwise best strap in tight

Cuz it's a long, long ride

And you don't get to drive

I keep a glass of wine next to the bed

Gotta blacken out those dreams that tease my troubled head

Melatonin

If I can sleep when I'm dead

Then put me down

Then put me down

I am spent

I've been exhausted

The clock unwinds

And I've circled the sun now 29 times

And every one was awful fucking awful

And every one was fine so sublime

Now that I know I don't control

My being from my mind

I am slowly learning how to

Work this soul of mine

It's so consoling knowing

I can take my time

I loaf and I invite

I keep your book of poems on the shelf

From time to time I crack the spine so I remind myself

Or someone else

It's not the blade of grass itself

But the way it serves the field, the bird, the bee and everything else

Which overwhelms

My arctic heart n it starts to melt

Should I give up?

Should I shape up?

Is there a difference?

Should I get some help?
