Rats and Children follow me out of town

Sprinkle your tears
With salt and pepper
Stolen from the table
When they're looking away
And while you're at it
Get some food too
You'll need the stuff
If you wanna stay alive and
Write in your diary
The final words that
They'll ever read
From you, but they
Probably won't even
Notice your scribbling
Never did before
Never did before and
Take your pets
They'll only starve and
Take the pictures of
Back when they had a heart
And
Run to the horizon
The everlasting moonlight
All the way to where
The music plays and
Maybe there-in
You'll find something
More so than what you had before
Or you might die
Body in a ditch
But death or life loveless
Endlessness or a cage

"And the pied piper he played his tune
To the ears of all the jolly kids.
He took them to his mountain tomb
Where he's kept them safely hid."
