  • The Pez Dispenser Never Fails

    It never fails.
    I have so much to say;
    everything to say;
    or just something to say...
    Something true.
    But it never fails;
    I open Xanga;
    my words won't work...
    Never fails.
    But this,
    is this working?
    Is anything working?
    Am I still human?
    It never fails...
    The pez dispenser sure does seem to dispense a lot more often,
    these days...
    Don't pretend you haven't noticed.
    No one needs another actor here.
    Don't mention that you've noticed.
    No one needs another hero here.
    Just don't look the beast in the eyes,
    nod along, fake your smiles,
    and judge me dead all the while...
    You can eat your heart out,
    when you think your head in
    crazy circles over and over me,
    but when your heart gets sick,
    and your head gets dizzy,
    from all the work it took to try to calculate
    how many different kinds of pez I ate,
    and when they kicked in,
    and if I'll kick out...
    But it would spoil the end
    if I gave that up now,
    now please take your seat,
    instead of a bow,
    I just came for the pez,
    and I'll stay till I drown.
    And no one needs an intervention,
    so when I roll over,
    don't wake me, cause pez can really knock ya out...
    Just do your act and look around;
    grab a pez and wash it down.
    Cause since pez, I've found,
    that no one else needs backspace like I do,
    these days.
    Don't pretend you have noticed.
    There's been nothing to notice.
    There is no actor here.
    I think there was once a girl here,
    one much stronger than me,
    but she hasn't been me in a while,
    and word on the street is she's dead.
    My best escape yet.
    Escape from myself?
    Huh... Wonder where I am?
    if I still am out there somewhere at all, even...
    There's no way to know for sure..
    But I know where I am not:
    I am not here;
    not her;
    not clinging to the pez dispenser;
    not going mad;
    not this;
    not here;
    I'm not.
