S.o.S. (Spoonfuls of Sugar) 2012

Spoonfuls of Sugar to absorb the taste of soot
To soothe the gentle saunter of deceit underfoot
Like a dancing clam full of Willing & Wonder
No way to prepare for the Earth shattering Thunder
No storms to compare to, no Safety, nor cover
No rope to cling onto. Not even each other...

Lest we not forget promises? Whilst we break them & hide?
Away from the Shame of lookin Me in the eye?
Perhaps a whisper of Fury shall bring you your Peace?
Nurse you with Venom, put your Black heart at ease...

Your throat must be bruised from all that you've purged
From the pain you must feel just to hear your own words
While you expect me Wicked; Wild & Weak.
Feeding me Spoonfuls of Sugar, keeping me sweet
Finally gagged on your poison. It was TOO sickly sweet
Shoving lies so far down my throat I could taste my defeat!

Damn...

Just...
gimme
one.
more.
taste.
My mouth is bitter & bold
Soften my pallet with something sweet & untold
Instead of the promises, the lies, everything you proved you lacked
The dirt & the bullshit I would've sworn to be Fact
FEED ME Spoonfuls of Sugar to help that good medicine go down
Got me chasin carrots for nothin, just goin round n round...

So I Chase.
Ignoring the warnings of the Mothers of Old
Their words slippin thru me letting disappointment unfold
Blinders secure & ready for Focus
Run til I can't stand
Shit! What had they told us?
Tongues spun of Gold no need to be spoken
Forgot what was told.
Wait!
Weren't Rules made to be broken...?

No... NO!

The lure of corruption so seductive & palpable
The pure of Destruction so alive & powerful!
You slipped thru a window of ignorance & Wanting
While I held a heart nagging Wisdom, wagging fingers & Taunting

Stuck playin the Fool to get to the next moment
Awaiting Absolution or the person who stole it
Fuck it.
Let the Fool remain the Fool & stop playing the Martyr
Lettin it slip thru my fingers, blow away & go farther

Misery lives in the scoreboard & I'm done keepin Tally
Thru the lies & the promises. Behind you I rallied
Enough Faith in You... to take on the World
Just a game to you though, no longer your girl

You'll know when the tables have turned & from you come the sighs
You'll know you're the Pawn when a smile stabs you in the eyes
Wash it all down with a thought of all those unknowing kisses
While you tell the next one to savor your Rock Candy wishes

So put your spoon away, I put a latch upon my window
Remember that the next time you come clean as Innuendo
Spoonfuls of Sugar forcing down all your lies
Created a bed of tears, rock hard & crystallized

& while you're runnin from the Truth that's been tryin to set you Free
You'll choke on your own damn spoon, then you'll remember Me...
