lyrics

I wonder if I’ll ever get my chance to kill him
To knock his lights out, dress him up, then hide him somewhere
I know he’s there he keeps his door wide open
And he won’t go away
Mother he’s called but we don’t know his name
He asks me to come but I can’t stay
I wonder if anyone ever does
They move our pictures around in their veins
Part of the poet stays in em’ that way
I wonder if anyone ever dies
I know that you’re right and I’m writing as if I were thinner
As if I could squeeze out all my feelings out in a day
I’ll drag you down to places you never thought possible
All my fossils all keep us warm at night
But if you ask me why I don’t fight I bet that I couldn’t give you an answer
I challenge anyone to tell me his true name
I’d call off the wind if I could hear anything above a whisper
But I can’t
Mother he’s called but we don’t know his name
He calls me to come but I can’t stay
I wonder if anyone ever does
They move our pictures around in their veins
Part of the poet stays in em’ that way
I wonder if anyone ever dies
