So much is on my mind it pains me more than I admit
She's yelling at the door clawing on the cushions to bits
So much to say but w-w-when you t-t-try to say it
F-f-finding a way to get to words to c-convey it
I can taste the plomo on my tongue
Turning silver as the letters evaporate 'till they're gone
Hairballs clogging up the tissue in my lungs
And I'm choking through the motions still trapped in a plus ça change
Her claws in my throat
Her hair in my lungs
There's more to be said
When I'm deaf, blind, and dumb
Screaming and scratching but words aren't dispatching
The thoughts overflow 'till the flood makes me numb
It's like my brain is beset, hanging on by a thread
I've got so much to say but the cat has my tongue
She l-l-left a severed head at my doorstep when we first met
I couldn't find the words to say the gift was one of regret
N-now she brings me c-c-corpses every day of the week
But when I try to turn them away my indignation turns meek
Slowly getting f-f-further from my point
That I'll never get to make because my focus won't anoint
All the questions, suggestions
In amongst the noise
It's a miracle I ever look calm and remotely poised
She tugs at my lobes
And swipes at my eyes
I'm stuck in the rain
While she's staring outside
Meow!
Won't you mind your business?
Now!
Prowling, how did you get so vicious?
Meow!
Won't you mind your business?
Now!
Prowling, how did you get so vicious?
How did you get so vicious?
Screaming and scratching but words aren't dispatching
The thoughts overflow 'till the flood makes me numb
It's like my brain is beset, hanging on by a thread
I've got so much to say but the cat has my tongue
She moves like a car crash in a mercurial way
Swerving 'round each syllable, I'd wish she'd go away
I've tried too many times to throw her off, lead her astray
But every time that my jaw drops, the cat comes out to play
Hey!
Fuck you, fuck you!
Hey!
Fuck you, fuck you!
I've tried too many times to throw her off, lead her astray
But every time that my jaw drops, the cat comes out to play
