GUPPY        Words and Music by Joe Beebe

 

Thanks mom

for making me brighter

and strong

but not a fighter

and dad

you gave me denial

how long

how long do I have to wait

 

It's only a matter of time

 

I think

denial is working

so I'll drink

until the morning

when I'll sleep

and wake up and want more

how long

how long do I have to try

 

It's only a matter of time

 

While contemplating

the reason I'm waiting

I mentally masturbate on

you'd think I would see

the life expectancy

alcohol guppy fish

don't live long

 

I feel

like I'm in a fish bowl

filled up

with juice of my liking

I can

see more than you looking in

how long

how long do I have to hide

 

In this guppy home here in my bowl

 

It's only a matter of time
