Mark Andrew Brooks - leaf to my teeth

A broken fan circulating stagnant air
The ashtray full of cigarette butts
An open bottle just to drown my despair
And clouded memories that her silhouette touched
It's evident that I wasn't at ease
And you could tell how I pushed in the clutch
Too quick to switch in between every gear
Too difficult just to notice her love
Smashed every wall of glass
I used the pieces just…just to open me up
I passed around every moment I had
Life experiences rolled in a Dutch
Surrounded by creatures lurking for a chance at Eden
Eva wasn't running amok
I was searching without reason near and far for her beacon
When I stopped it just seemed to turn up
As I uncovered all these pages I was tossed up in a grave
Ironically it was one that I dug
She was lost in amazement at the sight of my grace
As I swept her troubles under the rug
Who knew they'd turn up come spring
Who knew they'd accumulate quick
I knew but I wanted one thing it's the fruit that was too ripe to pick
The serpent slithered to her ear and then it whispered there is…not a minute to waste
Conned her into sinking her teeth into it and
Her body, overwhelmed by the taste
Too late to save her but too early to guess it
I warned her about the garden yet she remained interested
And he's slicker with his words so she couldn't help but test it
Put her logic to the curb and hailed a taxi straight to heaven
I
