Caroline on Skid Row


My words

Stolen sounds

Consonants vowels

You took them

You take them

When you rattle on

Lie cheat and steal

Shows you're not the big saviour

A thin crown you wear

Veneer

You're in need

Just like everyone here

That dark magic

Has an omnipresence over us

You may not know

But it does

And they do

Everyone

Knows it

That you need the stuff

The only reason you wake up

Every silent morning

Is because

You don't die

Like something lost

That may never

Be found
