The Church Channel


i wake up in a room and realize i’m insane again
this is the fifth time straight in a year i’ve ended up in here
eating p.b.j’s and watching the church channel nightly
i didn’t mind what i did
i fell behind on my nightly four-course meal of rainbow pills
and now i’m wondering what is fake and what is real
but who’s that ghost who keeps walking by my door
i’ve never seen a girl look so good in thick-rimmed glasses before
and i feel her watching me during sleeping hours
and when i shower
they let us play with markers but i keep trying to draw infinity
and i read the bible to pass the time
but one day out of nowhere, she sits down and looks over my shoulder
i’m shaking harder then i’ve ever shook before.
she sings:
“oh, don’t you remember me? is your mind that worn?
we both were born to be one with that which the public scorned
though you were forlorn in despair with your drugs and your hardcore porn
trust me, those days won’t be mourned. so lay your head on me.”
lay your head onto me..
