i'm building a bridge
to the other side of this body i'm in
made of black and tan bricks
held together with glorified spit
and i wish yeah i wish
i wish i could see what the other half sees
i'm huddled up tight
a war is breaking out tonight
was there always this light
make me feel so hopelessly alive
but i hope yes i hope
i walk where i want me to go
part of me wants to break free
but these protein sodium
guanine and adenine
do they make me me
are they even listening
lanky thin at the wrist
funhouse images of happiness
shirts hang loose on this kid
who feels so much bigger than he is
but i am yes i am
i am in tune with this pulsing room
if i close my eyes i see these
neon pathways
thymine and cytosine
drafting my wants and needs
they're all laid out for me
back to the sunday commute
north on west end avenue
find that red cushion seat
just some water to start with if you please
i don't know i won't know
i just pretend like i'm in control
i bought a lease but it's still dragging me
cruel biology
barking incessently
you love her you love her
go touch her go touch her
you love her you love her
no i don't even know her
but no you love her you love her
and she turns to me
what can i get you to eat
just the regular please
