Anthony Jay Sanders - Prodded To Breath lyrics

[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
