she is sour from the lemons in her open mouth
remedy the bitter of a life going south
now she knows she won’t succeed so she will never strive
but she likes being alive, she likes being alive
dropping oranges and apples into her purse
finding the solutions when the day gets worse
now she knows life means pain until the day we die
but she likes being alive, she likes being alive
deep green blush sprouting from her skin,
water and sunshine pulsing from within
roots corkscrew from the soles of her feet
turns out some girls grow on concrete
she’ll die in a life boat on the fourth of july
maybe choking on the tears her lovers cry
won’t know till then but its fun to fantasize
still likes being alive, she likes being alive
she hopes she goes away in a big black hearse
before her eyes fall closed she will smile first
grave sayin “woke and slept until the day she died”
she liked being alive, she liked being alive
wilted and blue, bruises on her arms
grew in the cracks and caused nobody harm
under the ground she stretches out her legs
turns out moss girls never want to stay
dead for twenty years and no one visits her
earth above her body covered in thick green fur
