tear down the bearing wall

put up a picture window

something to look through

at the bastard colors

burnt sienna



put down the wrecking ball

who has a friend, who needs one?

i've got a way to get to work in almost any city

doesn't matter where

take a needle, i won't be there

privileges forsaken there

liberties i've taken take me nowhere



put down the wrecking ball

don't let a childhood linger

they'll take the world apart and break my baby brother's finger

so he can't shake my hand

guard the dead against my legacy

and lack the wound no more



run from nowhere, nowhere follows you



burn down the house

make sure the family is inside

nothing more to tether you

also no one there to catch you crying



nothing but my famous pillow

and my father's rocking chair

(get a sliver when you sit there)

every mess i make i make a run from nowhere

nowhere follows you
