Suddenly everything is fainting. Falling from a broken ladder's rung. There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding. I hear the words of what I'll become.
Mouthful of cavities. Your soul's a bowl of jokes. And everyday you remind me. How I'm desperately in need. . See, I got a lot of fiends around. And they're peaking through nothing new.
There's such a thing as self opinion. And this far down south I have no self-control. If anybody else feels like a nobody. Well then you're gonna have to look out for you.
All alone the broadening skies under the every night I will lie. Scratching claw and grip the rails every day my living hell. Oh God you know I tried, I know how hard I've tried.
I was born on the banks off a hot muddy river. The child of one stupid steamy night. Born to roam beneath the sun. What do you think of me, I'm better left alone.
I have no fingertips, they were burned away from too many stove trips. Can't find no fingernails, I ate them off 'cause I was hungry as hell. Can't read, can't clear my mind.
If my path be smooth or rugged. If with thorns or roses strewn. Where I go the father seeith. And he will leave me not alone. . If I take the wings of morning.
Is this the place that I want to be?. Is it you who I want to see?. Holdin' on, hold it high, show me everything. . And you're leavin' me. Yeah, you're leavin' me.
New York City soothing. My itchy itchy month of May. Time has passed for Ms. Onassis. Decay on display. . I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
Grab my knee and look at me. And try to tell me, I'll be home soon. Asleep in my bed and unstoned. I'm tired of me this way. . I don't know what I've gotten into.
Come now, listen babe. I gotta reason why I behave. Like a child with a light in eyes. Runnin' naked on a cold and winter night. . I am like a pigeon that is spreadin'.
Tongue tied, nerves as big as boulders. Why mom, I thought I was your soldier. My brother sits by me. Buckled into the carseat. . Feel the thirst, it's time for pulling over.

I'm talkin' I'm talkin'. I'm talkin' to myself more. . Needle and fetal someone's pouring. Warm gravy all over me, oh yeah. And you see that synthetic therapy.
