baby on the drive, |
|
time is almost five |
|
laundry basket i |
|
sit in while lee tries |
|
to tell me i should know, |
|
tell me i would grow, |
|
sticking fourteen stones |
|
gently up my nose. |
|
so i shoved one up |
|
until it got stuck |
|
five more then i'm done |
|
playing with lee's no fun, |
|
dad came out the front door and he saw |
|
only lee sticking a rock |
|
up his nose while i just watched |
|
dad chased him around the block |
|
dad caught him real quick |
|
then he gave him shit |
|
hospital by six |
|
his nose the doctors fixed. |
|
i sit on the drive |
|
waiting till they arrive |
|
nose is full inside |
|
trying to stay alive |
|
lee was too scared to tell dad how many |
|
stones up my nose no one says |
|
till one day a bleeding face |
|
stone falls from my nose they say |
|
they say |
