i got a headache

that thinks

it’s licensed to ill

it starts

where my skull

meets my neck

-

i took an aspirin

but no one noticed

and now

my what-the-hell

is saturated

in heck

-

all i wanna do

is turn off today

just turn off today

don’t wanna

change it

in any way

-

just wanna

turn off

today

-

there are no

pieces

not in

or for

this play

-

i just wanna

make it all stop

just for a moment

-

or two

go quiet

AND

go away

-

all i wanna do

is leave

this now

behind

-

and get lost

in a stolen

moment

or two

-

between

the now

and the

next then

For Fun
