The Jail I Enrolled Into, The Fallen god, & Chocolate Cake (w/Shiksha Dheda)

The Jail I Enrolled Into, The Fallen god, & Chocolate Cake (w/Shiksha Dheda)

Shiksha wants to make it clear that these are the poems of a 16 year old so listeners beware. From "school is a prison," to a personified Death, Shiksha takes Dave and Aaron through the ringer of cliche high school poems. They all find a little solace in the fact that we all tend to need the same things, and in the end isn't that a sweet piece of cake to consider?
