Fairytale

Why does this fairytale have a taffy like taste to it,
Getting stuck in my teeth
While my brain pays a visit to the depths of hell.

No, I better walk this line from the Empire State to Los Angeles. 
And getting stuck in Kansas. 
"Dorothy, I'm not New York anymore," 
I'm in stop and go traffic with my thoughts. 
"Should I stay or should I go now," 
Well I want you to stay.
So I won't have 
To walk the line.

    A sense of fear overtakes her

    Beginning in the pit of her stomach

    And spreading to each limb

    Coating her in feeling
