Going "Home Without" Food
Going "Home Without" Food
-
All thee expanded times, I'm broken
Lost in the puddles of darkness, shooken
I'm a little broke man, crying
Held on to all my hopes
But obviously not tight enough
I can merely see the world change
Even though this is the future
And as the grains of crashing tides
Melt into another frame
I can leave and not be missed here
Ev'ry one I know has real jobs
And girlfriends
"All that jazz"
The cracks of splitting me up
Divide too much
To even keep up with
But how can daylight
Catch up with me
When I gotta sleep my other
Selves off?
With nobody to tell me to be myself
I guess I can go off
And never stop
But when my sandwiches leek mayonnaise
What will drops of "Best Foods" taste like
To my cat
When she wants some piece of my
Tuna sandwich?
Have a hammer
Have a blade
Have not a fear
"I'm not O.K."
So when this embellished world
Drops down to "cut the cord"
Strike me a match
And I'll find myself
Awake
'Til I have to tell my girl
__I'm hard
Bricks of fire stand in it's place
Without her
The smoke replaces
The smell between her legs
"Is that so wrong?"
I guess so
