Who am I to say
If I am standing up straight
How am I to know
If this world will glow
Underneath the neon sky
Lately I've been acting out
Throwing punches
Drinking drought
Until the still
My belly fills
Disentigrate
My bed

I tried to drive straight
To take the right path
Work under conditions
In addition to being heart broken
I wonder if your hair is soft
And when your skin gets cold
How do you tell
If dinner is ready
When you live in hell

Feeling unstable
Like the kitchen table
Drinking jack from a paper cup
Like a dove
Like a devil
I am broken body double
Control my actions
Put me in traction
Drug me to sleep
Sleep
Sleep drug me
I need sleep
Drugs with water
Sleep is what
Is needed
Sleep is what
I needed
Put me down I'm your dog, *****
Put your hands down I don't hit
Put me out on the doorstep
I deserve it
For coming home drunk
Looking for love
So you pack your suitcase
And its packed so tight
Your hands shake
Your hair makes
Shadows on the bed
Red faced
And tear eyed
What you've whispered
I would scream
Into the microphone
Into the receiver
Into the mirror
*I've grown tired
I've grown so ******* tired
