How can I say
How can I explain
And is that the ugly truth
Of what life is about
What you really need
You can sometimes do without
But I can change your ways

Eyes opened wide
I will stay awake
Counting each and every
Asthma breath I take
Sometimes I don't really
Like me very much
Other times I stand tall
I don't need no crutch
'Cept for you these days

As I stalk the house
Eyes on stalks
Sitting in the hallway
Face all wrong
I can hear trouble knocking
Knocking on my front door
But I can't tolerate trouble
I'm gonna put it to the floor

As I write these words
Face so swollen up
Stitches in my face
A walking talking fuckup
I ask myself
If I got something to say
What have I got to look forward to
At the end of the day
'Cept for you and our ways
