My Book of Songs and Poems (Slow Updates)

Machine (Poem)

Second by second
Minute by minute
Hour by hour

Day by day
Week by week
Month by month
Year by year

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

A messed up stitch
Fix it

A shattered plate
Hide the pieces
Trick people

Make it all look pretty

Let the running water be silent
Fill the tub
There are no bubbles

Slip it on
Wear it pretty

Watch the steps
Dancing nicely

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

Looking normal
They've been tricked

Shiny and new
Bright

Leave the stove burning
No signs of a burn
So keep going

Looking up
A white glow
Squeeze
Kiss

Leave before they think anymore
Play like you did as a child

Be the princess in the tower
Who sings happy songs
Yet whose heart yearns for more
To explore
Discover
Love

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

Cry
Bleed
Scream
Yell
Hate
Be greedy
Show your true dark side
Hate everything
Be angry and free

Throw things
Kick
Hit
Scratch

Let the flames swallow everything
Let the flames make your decisions
Choose your actions

Burn the paintings on the walls
Rip the beautiful piano apart

Then, before someone sees,
Be a machine

Second by second
Minute by minute
Hour by hour

Day by day
Week by week
Month by month
Year by year

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

A messed up stitch
Fix it

A shattered plate
Hide the pieces
Trick people

Make it all look pretty

Let the running water be silent
Fill the tub
There are no bubbles

Slip it on
Wear it pretty

Watch the steps
Dancing nicely

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

Looking normal
They've been tricked

Shiny and new
Bright

Leave the stove burning
No signs of a burn
So keep going

Looking up
A white glow
Squeeze
Kiss

Leave before they think anymore
Play like you did as a child

Be the princess in the tower
Who sings happy songs
Yet whose heart yearns for more
To explore
Discover
Love

Paint pretty pictures
Play a beautiful song
On a beautiful piano

Second by second
Minute by minute
Hour by hour

Day by day
Week by week
Month by month
Year by year

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wash, rinse, repeat

You're a machine
