I am full of bad moves
Things that you've already done,
linger on me what I may become.
All my screws are bent loose
and I'm just trying to stay awake
to hear the awful noises mornings make.
And I might bite right through the skin
Straight through to the bone
Just to bear my hands reminder that our creation goes unknown
and you might feign some insight
privy to my grief
but what you learn from me is fleeting
just as levity is brief.
I am full of relief,
when this headache kills the pain
echoing inside me sleet and rain.
I'm waiting for the day when I'll be first to leave
and then you'll have to choose
what to call this other than abuse.
I'll make all this easier,
right there to the point
as the sin of company's fading
with these lines I will anoint
my head to my failures
my nose to my sleeve
I keep saying one more night but I'm just waiting to be told to leave.
