pink lint - it's a trap lyrics
i know exactly where you get off
and though it doesn’t come easy
i try to be loud and clear
from toe to ear
brimming
i’m sorry — i’m engaged
in this 24-hour-reward-serpent-thing
telling everyone i’m so busy —
waiting …
it’s a trap
a reptile wrapped around your neck
a prune dressed in a cherry costume
are you ready to
listen to the wailing sounds i make when i don’t want to be anyone?
you’re a sport for hanging on
by your fingernails
to the rim of the cage on a hot-air balloon —
it’s already time to regret it
just give up and scratch that itch
your most poetic, mosaic-like things
don’t convey anything
»no spilled guts here, nor threats of spit dangling dangerously close to the bone«
—from the mouth that almost seems to be chewing
(once more with feeling)
but it’s a trap
a reptile wrapped around your neck
a prune dressed in a cherry costume
it’s a plaque, a soothing escape
always something else i can’t remember long enough —
could you just shut up?
do you have to burn
every apartment you have lived in — like a cow on a perch
just give in and pour the gas —
fortune follows the mindless
