I caught a rat by its tail A phantom pain Do you see it's better when I close its eyes Floor mat, bottom stair I count the rails To climb up to you but you see it otherwise I can feel Heaven Do you think it's better when you close your eyes But I hear a voice in the wall now Will the dark tempt the light Like a lure in the sewer? I caught a cat by its nail A familiar pain Do you think it's mercy if it's euthanized Because I do And I'm choosing blindness to twist my mind to compromise But I hear a voice in the wall now Will the dark tempt the light Like a lure in the sewer?
