lyrics

A patchwork of feeling
a passing gaze
I'm finding I'm stealing
every next moment
pass me the bottle
pass me the smoke
pass me a semblance
of passing as human

Who matters
who slaughters
who looks at the rope
sees a way in
a dangle of hope
I once held a scissor
up to my throat
I once felt a fissure
carrying bags

On my way home I felt the divine
creeping up the curb
on my way home I met with my god
on Putnam & Bedford

I used think I was satisfied
I walked like a heathen
thirsty and deprived
now I sit with a coffee
bundled up in a sweater
my hands don't work like they used to
better that they don't
so at least when I'm clinging
I know it'll get loose
and I'll be left alone with nothing to do

Alone with my thoughts and what they won't do
cause those in the end will haunt you

until the don't
