lyrics

“The Fence”

Why don’t you tell me what the purpose is
When you’re walking with your back to it,
through the garbage ’til you hit the fence
All pleasures and passion
Everything beeps for you
Over prepared, insecure
What was it that this flesh was for

And from the right angle
Anything speaks to you
Be sure to make the chorus loud
Hard-stop the song and hear the crowd
Why don’t you tell me what the purpose is
When you’re walking with your back to it
And before you know you’re climbing it

I’m still learning how to need
What you fed to me
Like a dog who has the bite
without the teeth

Now if I could be your joy or hopelessness
I’d take a rock and hit to moon
And let the evening bleed for you
You claw and your tangle with the other half
The mirror only multiples
The perversity you wish to hide

Give it up, pour it out
There is no witness here
All associated are happier
Assisting other customers
Why don’t you tell me what the purpose is
When all associates are currently
Assisting other apathies

You gave birth to a thief
On November 19th
Like a dog who has the bite
without the teeth
