lyrics

Lately I've been trying to tough it out
You can see my palms look a little rougher now
Callousing the mind, little by little
Trying to be the opposite of being so brittle
I'm weak for eating chicken and the bay bugs
I'll keep eating even if I get pay cut
I use society's norm as the glue
But I know it's not quite the right thing to do
It's a tall order to make it hold water
The line's quite clear, it's not a fuzzy border

Welcome to my quarters, make yourself at home
Please ignore the mess, the cupboard with the bones

Just another thing adding to my woes
Feeling tiny like the space right between my toes
I just want to write, feel so unopposed
Every single stroke takes me further my goals

Further my goals
Further my goals

Yeah

Let me take a moment, smell all the roses
Take in the sunshine and turn up all the hoses
Turn all this shit into decent fertiliser
Look beyond the future of a Ford or a Chrysler
I remember the days of Zooper Doopers
With the bike rides, Nerds and oompa loompas
So carefree, no clouds over shoulders
Episodes of Homer, Agent Mulders
Take me back, take me back to the times
When I didn't have to taste all the brine

Welcome to my quarters, make yourself at home
Please ignore the mess, the cupboard with the bones
The cupboard with the bones
The cupboard with the bones

Just another thing adding to my woes
Feeling tiny like the space right between my toes
I just want to write, feel so unopposed
Every single stroke takes me further my goals
