lyrics

There’s a puddle at the bottom of the stoop
That throws me into instant paralysis
Like a character designed without the requisite
Points in acrobatics

And though I want to go out
And I want to feel dirt between my fingers
It isn’t allowed
It just isn’t done around these hypochondriacal parts

Make the rain stop long enough
For me to rediscover the animal inside of me
Fifteen thousand years of compromise
But now I need to become the old tireless beast

There’s a puddle at the bottom of the stoop
Reminding me that I used to know how to swim
For an hour at a time in rabid pursuit of
Whatever injured thing was trying to escape

And I want it all back
But I don’t have a say
I’d never survive a scrape on these jagged mechanical parts

Make the rain stop long enough
For me to rediscover the animal inside of me
Fifteen thousand years of compromise
But now I need to become the old tireless beast

What kind of third rate demigod feeds but doesn’t shelter?
I’m trying hard to be positive, friend
Best friend, best friend, best friend
