Analysis of Today
Today, you're crawling on the floor
Your thoughts are damp like never before
You've been throwing stones
At things that don't even shine
But you loved my brain, not my soul, right?
Your face has become totally pale
But you can't cry
I emptied your lacrimal glands
Dine with pain
As I had to do the same
Is it raining?
I'd let the cats and dogs loose...
