Life Soup

I open my mouth, choke down the life soup

It's cold 'cause I left it sitting in the kitchen

While I cried in the bathroom and still left the truth

Alone in the microwave

I wish that I could be brave

I look in the mirror and all I can see

Is the monster I met last night in my dream

She had my face, and she had my name

Sucked the air from the room just the same

My throat is a trash chute

My tongue's rotten fruit

Breathing in flies all looking for food

Expire or aspirate

Why must I choose

Either way someone here's gonna lose

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna

I hold my nose, I close my eyes

I am afraid of the taste

Of all the dead things that I have to swallow

To become okay

The spit's so acidic, it's burning through my brain

I am melting down my drain
