fingers and toes

can’t see for seeing / can’t feel for being / eyes try to fail me / can’t lie to save me / too many exits / not enough guts to stand trial / not enough time to stay a while / had my turn and blew it / should have said I knew it / too much waste to conquer / too much hate to want to / get on the outside and turn me right over / stuck on the inside each day getting older / rip it right out take my head off my shoulders / get on the outside until there’s nothing left over / too many exits / not enough health for two of us / not enough help to use / and I have to feel it / you can keep your dreaming / you can hide your feelings / can you look not have it? / can you feel not grab it? / can you just not have it?

mouse

seed husks in between my teeth / the city doesn’t want me / lost my head got sick again / breath was bad this morning / caught beneath the sunshine / warm inside the night time / moving stars from under bars / I’ve got it in my blood / lost the line I came to find / I dropped it from my jar / caught beneath the sunshine / warm inside the night time / trails of crumbs and headlights / dirty lungs are lead lined / caught between the floors to creep / you’ve got me in a forced sleep / cat is gonna scratch me / thoughts are going to crush me / caught beneath the sunshine / warm inside the night time / trails of crumbs and headlights / dirty lungs are lead lined / caught beneath the sunshine / warm inside the night time / trails of crumbs and headlights / dirty lungs are lead lined /
