Literature Text

Little girls trying to fit into Mommy’s dresses
Little boys trying to fit into coats
Big girls throwing their parasites in dumpsters
Big boys hanging dead from the bedposts

Suicide, suicide, life’s not how you want it
Things that are missing will kill you too
Acid will eat you up, beasts gnaw at your ankles
But things that are missing can eat you up, too.

Negative space, a little girl crying
She has no place to go, to call home, to hide,
Maybe the answer is somewhere in the darkness
Fermé les yeux, au revoir, suicide.

Adam shot himself, he’s only twenty-three
In the dormitory and the shot rang out
The yellow tape stretched off into the corners
Daddy never came home, he never knew who to be.

Negative space, a little boy crying
He has no place to go, to call home, to hide
I’m so young, but I feel as if I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes,
Fermé les yeux, au revoir, suicide.
Au revoir-- goodbye
ferme les yeux--close your eyes

this is a song.
