On Life Support
Wolves in the salvation choir
Keeping out all the lambs
The forest grows back from the fire
All will be green again
Baby got her brain inspired
Stopped taking all her meds
Said the feds had tapped her wire
Found her hiding out by the hedge
Sent her back to bed
I'll call them in the morning
Sit on the front porch
Stare into the sky
Another night
On life support
It could get worse or it could get better
Or it could stay how it is
Refugees all crammed together
Crossing the ocean
Looking for a place they'll never find
Called welcome in
Staring out through the barbed wire fence
In the internment
Say you're not like them
In your accent
But there's too much violence
To take a chance
Born to this world of war
Fight or flight
Spend another night
On life support
Sister took too many pills
And rode off in an ambulance
We all could tell that she was ill
But figured she'd snap out of it
You know I don't believe but still
Girl I pray you get a second chance
How was I so blind
You were too young to die
Not a day goes by
You're not on my mind
Spending your last night
On life support

Wonder Bread
Hold your breath
At the bottom of the pool
Unimpressed
By the socialites at school
Mom's been strange
Sleeps all day and dinner's microwaved
Dad tousles your hair
Opens the fridge and grabs another beer
With a backpack full of Wonder Bread
Slipping through the back fence
You give a thumbs up to the moon
So far the plan's been going smooth
Small suspense
As you check your final grades
College ends
So graduates the runaway
Never got too far
Climbed into the back of the cop car
So unafraid
Such bravado for a girl of eight
With a camera full of down and outs
And a pill box full of up and downs
You do what you have to do
Too keep your life from catching up with you
