The Starving Time

Come and go, you've come to know
Your memories of ice and snow
Star and planet, sun and moon
Six polaroids and Daniel Boon
My baby boy, my favorite drug
Zucchini bread and Leroy Bug

One dark night, a Friday night
I lost my drug and sense of sight

Hysteria all night and day
From Manchester to Emerald Bay
Eat, sleep, eat, sleep
In between and underneath
More or less, strip and dress
Fake a smile, hide the stress

Five, three, and twenty-four
I let him go, I cry no more
