I just want something warm to drink
and a pillow for my head
The haze has made it hard to think
and my eyes are turning red
I'm out of focus, up the road
just burning from the heat
My hands deliver heavy loads
that won't admit defeat

I'm just full of wishes
I can't escape their claws
A case of he says/she says
is tearing at my jaw

I know the answer's dangling
from the tip of my drooling tongue
When I hear pockets jangling
easy to forget I'm young
I'm memorizing street signs
that I'll never have to know
I'm hurting young men's minds
who never thought they'd have a go

I am filled with danger
They can't escape my claws
A case of he says/she says
Won't support the law

I feel my fingers going numb
so I reach into the fan
Palms stretching towards REDRUM
in the words of a famous man
The leaves are falling from the trees
and the sky is going black
I run my bare toes through the seeds
and listen to them crack
