Petals In The Grass

Down In The Mouth

Thrown, tossed
Went through the wringer
Stuck in a place
Where shadows and secrets linger

Woebegone
Melancholic
Phantoms dance
Play and frolic

My mentality is tested
I'm going in sane
Disturbing thoughts
Haunt my brain

Down in the mouth
Down in the dumps
Beaten and bruised
I've taken my lumps

Another blow
Another stinger
Perpetually stuck
Where shadows and secrets linger
