What Cheer?

To be stuck
Within the fold
Between the faults
That I know
I tried to erase
Where I had no control
And my thoughts didn't grow
I know, I know
So I'll replace myself
With something that I can't control
Do I shrink?
Or fall?
Do I grow?

So I read verbatim what to do
Forgetting all that I know
So I cast myself to a stone
Forgetting all that I know

And I didn't skip, nor sink, nor fall
No, I sang for you all

I was a stone in the fold
A rock in Rhode Island
A piece of Rhode Island
A particle in Rhode Island

Even though I was a stone
My brain was starved
Look at me go
My brain was starved
And I can't diet
Just a rock in Rhode Island
The sheep will flock to Rhode Island

Oh baby, my brain was starved
In Rhode Island
Just a piece of Rhode Island
And I can't diet
But I'm a stone
Look at me go
I know
I know

Oh baby
My brain is starved
My thoughts don't grow
And I can't diet
