[Verse 1]
I'm a set of stripped screws torn from a stage-play set
And while admitting it's a noose
I do not fully get it yet, fully get it yet
Bed's breathing like a sponge, squeezing water from its chest
And while I have a hunch
I do not fully get it yet, fully get it yet
I'm a lifestyle choice, not quite the schwa de vivre
Is that the secret source of noise, like a mouse i thought I saw?
Play "Find the Disembodied Voice"
I used to always play to win
If it's not in my crate of toys
Then I don't know where to begin
I don't know where to begin
I grab the edges of the jagged cliffs of friendship
I dream in vivid tension and I always fail to mention
In the morning when scratch and yawn
Repeat, almost deliberately, to distract me
I'm seated by the demand of Our Father
At the right hand of a toddler
He's a never-ending sobber
And I hate seeing my face and seeing his
And that's the way this evening is
How can I help it?
[Chorus]
And you talk it to d**h, talk it to d**h
I'm naked like an emperor
And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath
Talk it to d**h, talk it to d**h
I'm naked like an emperor
And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath
[Verse 2]
What to utter's my concern
The circles start to settle in
They've come to make my bu*ter churn
To make my bu*ter churn
I've got options, I suppose
I could make a clean escape
I can walk longer than most
Maybe return to ticker tape
I'm an a**hole and I gape
I'm an a**hole and I gape
It's easy to lead little boys to prison
Lock 'em in and never miss 'em
If you wanna make a mockery of heart
Then that's a proper way to start
But if I manage to do just as much damage just by being me
Who would ever wanna stick their head out mama's sauna
And emerge into a world of tangled cables
And small towns that aren't stable?
I'd love to say I know myself
But I keep trying to hide my purse from me
[Chorus]
And you talk it to d**h, talk it to d**h
I'm naked like an emperor
And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath
Talk it to d**h, talk it to d**h
I'm naked like an emperor
And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath
