lyrics
I owe my sanity
and most of my insanity to a cat
but to you I owe who I am
and who I will become at that
no long roads, no wet streets
no rhyming trying freezing reasons
just feelings
held in suspension
repentant of all commitment, you're wrinkle resistant
when he cleans late into the night
to ponder with what is cruel, broad and bare
the tempting melted to tasting
broken and balding glass
you now no longer care for
a heart full
of parting pools
the train rattles your nameless rings
you feel my face taut against the fraud
funny it's here you choose the place
feigning so he'll spill a sign or trace
failing yet so careful
before my teeth set
it's easier by now I bet
your eyes pulled
for a mouth full
the sun off the plates
mist fills the maze
and most of my insanity to a cat
but to you I owe who I am
and who I will become at that
no long roads, no wet streets
no rhyming trying freezing reasons
just feelings
held in suspension
repentant of all commitment, you're wrinkle resistant
when he cleans late into the night
to ponder with what is cruel, broad and bare
the tempting melted to tasting
broken and balding glass
you now no longer care for
a heart full
of parting pools
the train rattles your nameless rings
you feel my face taut against the fraud
funny it's here you choose the place
feigning so he'll spill a sign or trace
failing yet so careful
before my teeth set
it's easier by now I bet
your eyes pulled
for a mouth full
the sun off the plates
mist fills the maze
