lucky charms

i'm a box of your favourite cereal.
you know, the one that just seems so sweet
but you can't eat more than a bowl of it.

maybe it's better that way,
preservation being a necessity and all.
but everyone has an expiration date.

so put me back in the cupboard,
out of your sight, out of your mind.
because once you pour out all the cereal
you'll see there's no prize left behind.

so put me back in the cupboard,
out of your sight, out of your mind.
because once you pick out all the marshmallows
there's nothing charming to find.

and if i raise your blood pressure
please don't be cross with me.
you knew the nutritional facts from the start.

i have a way of affecting your heart.
i'm carried through your arteries and veins.
i'm carried through your joy and pain.

so put me back in the cupboard,
out of your sight, out of your mind.
because once you pour out all the cereal
you'll see there's no prize left behind.
