TO REPEAT, PRESS ONE
When I was little,
there was a gate in the backyard
with a sign to beware of the dog
we had no dog and
the gate never opened very easily.
It couldn't have been more than 6 feet
but to my three feet,
it was made for giants.
TO SAVE, PRESS TWO
No, I don't think you can do that.
Well, you can try I guess.
Kind of cocky of you,
what makes you think you're any different than everyone else
You can try to save me,
you can try to love me,
but I'm a tragedy,
like Icarus,
just not nearly as beautiful.
FOR ENVELOPE INFORMATION, PRESS THREE
If you wanted my number,
you could just ask.
I may be doomed but I'm still in love.
TO DELETE, PRESS FOUR
Most pill coatings taste like sugar,
which gives your brain a kick of dopamine.
Kind of funny that right before I die
from the 92 pills sloshing around in my stomach
I'll die with a smile on my face
TO EXIT, PRESS FIVE
there was never any exit big enough to save you
maybe if you were smaller
didn't take up quite so much space
I mean, your words, they're too loud
your thoughts are too big
and maybe eat a little less bacon, hmm?
TO HEAR THIS MENU AGAIN, PRESS SIX
I was never any good at making decisions the first time
