The brokenhearted break their bones up into bread
then ball it up and stuff it in the holes in the sides of their heads.
to stop the sound you stop the source
or is it the other way around?
to stop the source you stop the sound.
and i'm a little dry at the joints between them.
pushing the choke in my throat down
the open-hearted make such a mess of themselves.
the empty-handed are pulling all the sparks right out from under their wheels.
to stop to stop to throw off course of course i know how easy for all those
who need and take and go.
and i'm a little tired of sitting and getting fat.
if we are sealing up enough
then we are feeling nothing
