You Can Control

PLAY Beautiful little girl telling us which Marvel Comics we were, leader

FAST FORWARD Big sistercousin, takes point, designating sleeping arrangements avoid friendly fire on holidays

WATCH FOR A BIT

Artist, breathtaking design, decides she wants to start seeing the swirls of paint behind her eyelids

Wants to feel the color of gods on the back of her tongue and these tiny tabs will get her there

PAUSE They got her PLAY

Police got you, and still wild spirit you escaped that place

Where they take you back to the beginning before it all

You tried and they tried 3 times

FAST FORWARD New country, old family, shield you from all but yourself

At your meetings to get better you did

Get better junk

STOP You gave your body for mind Altering crap.

And you still didn’t PAUSE

And look at yourself.

Sitting on my toilet

expensive poison laid out on a 7 dollar cd case

Trembling and Sweating, uncaring of the dollar bill rolled up your nose

Because you believed it made you able

Able to be human, and feel. You lied to me.

I ask

Can’t you believe, makes… succeed can’t you… without

STOP, REWIND

Without … you can’t succeed… makes, believe you can’t

Because these drugs twist your synapses and replay your life in reverse PAUSE

You need to, look at the FREEZE FRAME mirror and see

Your image is shaking with the effort of being still PLAY

And without meaning to you are on FAST FORWARD

Looking for the next speed bump that won’t even slow you down

Baby girl, when will you STOP
