Foot hits the pavement
Alleviating impatience
Lighter than a feather
To better cushion the jaded
Stomping through the cemetery
The behemoth breaks his back
Stumbling over tombstones
Seemingly jagged in every crack
A man, half a monster,
Half a mouse, mostly bleeding
Drowning in the oxygen bank
Indian given breathing
When the rabbits loose their roots
Aside trees what speak and breathe
The kings are parted out
While the beasts break even clean

Foot hits the pavement
Alleviating impatience
Lighter than a feather
To better cushion the jaded
Stomping through the cemetery
The behemoth breaks his back
Stumbling over tombstones
Seemingly jagged in every crack
A man, half a monster,
Half a mouse, mostly bleeding
Drowning in the oxygen bank
Indian given breathing
When the rabbits loose their roots
Aside trees what speak and breathe
The kings are parted out
While the beasts break even clean
