Asa's Garden

Annie jumped the gun

Curled up on your lawn

Grasping at the sentence as it's melting on her tongue

"Just forget that one,

I swear it came out wrong"

You held it in too long

Hacking out your lungs

Folding into concrete as it's barely coming on

Try to bite your tongue

I know you're not that strong

All her friends got faded on a weekday

As Annie lost directions on the freeway

She had eggs on toast again

Coffee dripping down her chin

Torn in two and water rips

Isn't it so fun to forget about it?

Try to close your mouth

Your eyes will sell you out

Screaming into porcelain what longing never found

Feel the coming down

How'd you like it now?

All her friends got faded on a weekday

As Annie's pulling over on the freeway

She left her shoes right on the side

The southbound lane of 95

Torn in two and water rips

Isn't it so fun to forget about it?
