Tender Sugar

How long?

How far?

Not ripped away.

Took my body now.

Was it body or soul?

The darkness fades,

Fades to the light,

Disappearing now,

Disappears from the night.

And all these ages I've wandered

As a child,

And the morning always came,

It came too late.

What made my mind forget,

Forget to hide?

Could the nightmare be awake?

I don't know.

In or out?

Up or down?

Never know, it's an illusion.

'Round and 'round,

on and on,

Everyday spins my confusion.

Not again, not again, not again!

This dream, I got to wake.

What is real? What is real? What is real?

It's getting hard for me to take.

What I need? What I need? What I need?

The little something I delight.

And the white sugar gently hides me.

Oh, the sweet sugar saves me.

It's the room that confines me,

Confines me.

Sweet sugar.

Yesterday,

Back and forth,

Broken door no longer opens.

Breaking down,

Need it now,

Love is short, he always owes me.

Not again, not again, not again!

This dream, I got to wake.

What is real? What is real? What is real?

It's getting hard for me to take.

What I need? What I need? What I need?

The little something I delight.

And the white sugar gently hides me.

Oh, the sweet sugar saves me.

It's the room that confines me.
