[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 death, talk it to death I'm naked like an emperor And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath Talk it to death, talk it to death 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 butter churn To make my butter 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 asshole and I gape I'm an asshole 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 death, talk it to death I'm naked like an emperor And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath Talk it to death, talk it to death I'm naked like an emperor And I'm prodded to breath, prodded to breath
