Bursting At the Seams

 

If I could crack my skull like
an egg
I would crack it
crack
crack
If I could lull
myself, like a lulaby baby, like it, like it
I don't like it...

She said "You take the cake"...
I asked her how does one
exactly "take the cake"...
I guess I gotta wait
till you bake...

Crack...crack..crack...

I used to be fine with
the lie
all the time...
the legos, my ego...
Then these little pieces of me
began to fall away...

Crack...crack...crack...

I just wore these masks all the time...
I had one for the workers...
One for the minders...
One for the two timers...
One for the finders...
One for the miners...

They called them the "dozers"
I called them the posers...
I know not when it all began
I know not how to stand...withstand...
this juggernaut that I cannot stop...

Crack...crack...crack...

They say I could make it go
away with a pill...
of that I had my fill...
Come on man keep it real...
Or maybe swine or swill?
Or I could imbibe a concoction...
Made from meat that's rotten...
Red but sweet like sugar...

Crack...crack...crack...

I guess I should see a doctor...
or better yet is there a procter?
Someone in charge around here?
Someone to help make my head clear?
Someone like a daredevil?
A man without fear?

No no no that just won't do...
blame it all on you know who...
Take sean to the zoo...
They'll know what to do...

Elephant man the latest
attraction!
For your edification and
satisfaction!

Crack...crack...crack...

The keeper said I need to go
to a funny farm...
I asked if they would do me
any harm?
He seemed to indicate I might need
to medicate...
I told him but I smoke for that...
He said "Son that's what got you
in all this trouble..."

Crack...crack...crack...

So who said you could tell me what to do!
I say you can do what YOU should do!
I will do what I please.
I rather die on my feet.
Than live on my knees!

Their response was to throw
me down the stairs as they cursed
at me...

Crack...crack...crack...

So now you will get the
worst of me...

Crack...crack...crack...
