My sound broke so I'm suspended in silence That's okay because these ears hear too much I sit here head throbbing Westside window perception chipped paint with the dead fly The can man collects his cart shoes need mending Soul needs comfort Bags of treasure he has it gladly Rattles down my street off for a penny Only an empty echo scrap for a malt beverage Sometimes life is that simple I have a four pawed companion It's not mine but sometimes he knocks on my door Which is just fine because I can barely handle myself We sit in quiet Watch the tree sway and garbage gather He stayed away tonight cold weather being the culprit I hope No time for the calls at my windows I know she only wants madness and I am exhausted People come Checking on a body to make sure it was in working order They say I will give them cancer from worry I appreciate the intention I resent the implication I fear love but was never cold enough to deny it

Oh I see
My sound broke so I'm suspended in silence That's okay because these ears hear too much I sit here head throbbing Westside window perception chipped paint with the dead fly The can man collects his cart shoes need mending Soul needs comfort Bags of treasure he has it gladly Rattles down my street off for a penny Only an empty echo scrap for a malt beverage Sometimes life is that simple I have a four pawed companion It's not mine but sometimes he knocks on my door Which is just fine because I can barely handle myself We sit in quiet Watch the tree sway and garbage gather He stayed away tonight cold weather being the culprit I hope No time for the calls at my windows I know she only wants madness and I am exhausted People come Checking on a body to make sure it was in working order They say I will give them cancer from worry I appreciate the intention I resent the implication I fear love but was never cold enough to deny it
