busy is as busy does
maybe i’m frustrated ‘cuz
picking out catastrophes from
all those laid in front of me is
proving to be hard to bear
ceiling cracks and i just stare
falling bricks and i just stare
super-silent fantasy
you don’t get what you want from me
i feel so sorry when i sing
for everybody listening
who’ll never hear a voice so sweet
sleeping limbs and undertow
the differences that i don’t know
we’re in love and that’s a fact and
i don’t even dress like that
i don’t even comb my hair
ceiling cracks and i just stare
falling bricks and i just stare
dumbbo walks the wrong way home
eyes dried up inside his skull
clouds of birds Korea-bound as
we move on to two-horse towns
big fat moons and finger bones
reminding me that i’m alone
sleeping in the undertow
pull your heart straight through your skull
put me on a higher shelf
even when i touch myself
so carefully tossed aside like
it won’t hurt if i’m alive
all this weight inside my head
fire blackening my bed
sick to death with all your friends
who all hate me for hating them
when i say your name i choke
when i say my name i choke
when i say your name i
