I had an affair with the entryway,
Touched lips with the steps,
Put my pride down the street lines,
Fell out of love,
And dropped my heart into the potted plants.

I went to a town the other night,
Alone and barely afraid,
Never seen these sights before,
But I'm watching these trucks sweep me by.

I waited till midnight to buy myself a bed.
I swear this body isn't being sold,
To the man under the stairs.

Oh, I cried to the lord, yes I did.
I don't believe in him but-
I was scared,
What do you do when you're scared?

These streetlights light my feet,
Less often do I feel so **** free.

Motel 6 is now my home, for now.
Forevermore, I'm gone from warm,
To every rock being my bone,
Goodnight to the disheartening tone.

These streetlights light my feet,
Less often do I feel so **** free.

I can't tell my head from my hands,
There's a similarity of my palms,
The curves that dive down and then back up,
Appear similar to the dips and hills of my brain.

It's like I can't feel you anymore,
Your touch, it's bleak,
Your voice, it's muffled,
I'm scared of losing this heart of mine.

Important song and it takes on,
This whole new type of wrong,
I can't clean so I can't plead,
No more knees but I can see,
You're a lost charm,
Don't mean any harm,
But what the hell does it mean to be warm?

I wanna see you,
I want to need you,
I must plead you,
Insane.

Fowl seed inside the earth,
Grows into a tender prose,
Just outside the window,
Looking in, a foreign stranger.

Consume, digest this breed.
A nightly dinner, with some more afterwards,
Slop on the table, as well as on the floor,
***** mouth, followed by caked hooves.

Pig head on it's own,
Cannibal, eat alone,
Counting pounds,
Breathing fumes.

Rain patters down,
Crisp sound, pattern scattered,
Hands dry and safe,
Guts under the tires,
Soaked of mud, wrenched.

Deconstructing this house made of stone,
I'm a destructive force, no one get in my way,
I promise I won't hurt you, even so,
I'm just defensive and depressive.

There's no enemy on the other side,
Only on mine,
My ticking time bomb fades after winter.
