Burnt toast and raspberry pie

Burnt toast
Burnt Toast.
And raspberry jam.

Stick it in the oven one more time...
dirt in the mouth...
                           ...blood in the mouth,
Got two floppy rubber boots,
stepping into the pie...

Ripping out the raspberry's,
forks and spoons sprawled out,
with red stains on your blue jeans.

Burnt Toast.

Burnt Toast.
And raspberry jam.

Scraping off the excess black,
feel it scrap down the throat,
hear that throat gasp for
water and saliva.

Then ask for another bit of pie...

I,
Scrap the butter on to the toast,
the crust I want the most,
let the crumbs slide down my cheek,
tearing the lips, and letting the lips...



...drip.
