Barker

Lean my forehead against the window glass, it bends the lights that drip inside
Spent days roaming room to room with instincts unapplied
September's here and we, we ain't been ourselves lately
The old me liked the old you

I'd know from around the corner
When no one's there, it's panic and disorder
Clock hands creeping by
Why am I always surprised the dish cracked and dried?

I wait for the door to unlock
Clawing walls and gnawing on the sheet rock
Sifting through wreckage for some scraps thrown before the world collapsed
I'm winding up, still I'm more unwrapped, if something snaps

Just a walk through Logan Park could save us all, we'd hear some natural sound
I'd stretch out and feel the grass beneath, not artificial ground
But you've had plans lately, when you hit the floor maybe
Scream if you can see me, scream if you

I'd know from around the corner
When no one's there, it's panic and disorder
Clock hands creeping by
Why am I always surprised the dish cracked and dried?

I wait for the door to unlock
Clawing walls and gnawing on the sheet rock
Sifting through wreckage for some scraps thrown before the world collapsed
I'm winding up, still I'm more unwrapped, if something snaps

Treating creatures like machines
But we can't be controlled all the time, no, resistance breeds
And if we don't get what we need
Get bent and bowed, tick, explode

I'd know from around the corner
When no one's there, it's panic and disorder
Clock hands creeping by
Why am I always surprised the dish cracked and dried?

I wait for the door to unlock
Clawing walls and gnawing on the sheet rock
Sifting through wreckage for some scraps thrown before the world collapsed
I'm winding up, still I'm more unwrapped, if something snaps
