| Pass The Butter Food for thoughts Thoughts of food Brought families together Talks over meals Was like taking a truth pill Found out grandmother Wasn't my real grandmother Just us 3 sisters, not so before us, there was a big brother Only knew her from A distance Couldn't stand her Found out she was my first cousin Life long lies Speak easy over tongues Cut up in bite size pieces Never fail to fill the guts full Cups runneth over Sugar bowl empty Pass the butter please When mother gives birth To many sons and one daughter Then cherishes the boys over The girl more than she ought to Girl grows up looking for the love She never had In material things Wedding rings And baby carriage swings Low the day she found out SALVATION Does not have a price tag And her knight and shining armor Is only HUMAN When he can not deliver her the world.....THEN WHAT? Hollow woman casting the shadow Of a girl Life long lies Speak easy over tongues Cut up in bite size pieces Never fail to fill the guts full Cups runneth over Sugar bowl empty Pass the butter please Lord only knows, If she had him first She would have had no other Trouble since the day he was born He has no remorse for the Evil things he says or does He said he did it just because 3rd generation of an absentee Father on his father's side 2nd generation of a drunk sitting On a corner as many pass him by If she isn't swimming in She's sinking in his crap Wishing she could take His day of conception back As she screams "How long, How long How long must I feel this way" There is always a reason for Everyone and everything a wise Man once said This child may be the only one Holding your hand, wiping your bottom as you lay On your dying bed Life long lies Speak easy over tongues Cut up in bite size pieces Never fail to fill the guts full Never fail to fill the guts full Never fail to fill the guts full Cups runneth over Sugar bowl empty Pass the butter please Pass the butter please Pass,Pass,Pass the butter please.
