The mob boss
enters the kitchen
in the morning
all dressed in black

He looks into his pantry
and chooses between
Cheerios and Cap'n Crunch

Why decide
when the decision is so hard to make

Why decide
when the fear of decision holds my soul back from life

Why decide
when the way out is so unclear

Why decide
when the consequences deprive me of the air that keeps me alive

Why decide
take back a decision that I made myself
a long time ago
