Life Soup
Erin Anne
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
