 My name is S. Reidy and I'm here to say
 I love Cocoa Pebbles in a major way
 
 Slowly but surely I’ll be fine but lately patients is a fail mission
 Split decisions leave me frozen from the waist down
 My hearts small, my heads loud
 I’ve fallen short of fallen short enough to make a man of cowards
 My expectations of my self will be the death of me (death of me)
 Do they indulge in my endeavors? Cuz they better be
 What is mental anguish if it’s not a one way ticket to the top?
 Risk a biscuit don’t get caught
 How long can pasty solemn sissy songs pay the bills for?
 Guess I’ll see this therapy’s essentially why I’m here still
 Narrowly carefully over sharing these conclusions
 Make it easy on the ears, remind yourself you can do this
 Repeat
 
 I’ll be your captain for the chorus
 Strap in tight, close your eyes, better bumpy ride than boredom
 You’ll be fine
 And you’ll be safe
 And you’ll be fine
 And you’ll be safe
 You might also like
 
 I’ll be your captain for this ride
 You don’t have the time to bide
 Cuz either way you’re gonna die
 Plus, you’ll fine fine
 And you’ll be safe
 And you’ll be fine
 And you’ll be safe
 
 Here’s a poem about a thing I saw one time
 A man is walking down the street, he’s looking beaten down by life
 And there’s a spider on the ground, a spider outside
 I’m on a coffee shop patio, it’s 2:45
 When out the blue this man gets angry and starts yelling at the bug
 “What is wrong with you, you demon haven’t you not taken enough from me?
 Crawling on the grass, and you don’t ask me how it’s tough to be
 Alone in this dark world you think that’s how it’s supposed to be?”
 This when on for awhile, flames were shooting out his mouth
 Yelling bad words and slurs all of which I’m leaving out
 But at the end of it all he stomps the spider out of spite
 Ripped apart all is his legs, hocked a loog and yell "good night!"
 Wow, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t staring
 Eventually realized that, I hoped he wouldn’t care
 But then he yelled across the road “what are you looking at”?
 He started to walking towards me, angrily, then something happened
 What I saw with my two eyes is something I could not make up
 He takes a couple strides and then gets smacked up by a bus
 It’s takes like 45 minutes for some help to arrive
 They lift him off the ground and gets taken for a ride
 True story, it felt like Shakespeare in the park
 An omen or a token of some wisdom to embark
 I think about it daily, all the meaning it evokes
 Was it profound or was it dumb? I think a little bit of both
