prodded to breath - anthony jay sanders lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m a set of stripped screws torn from a stage-play set
and while admitting it’s a noose
i do not fully get it yet, fully get it yet
bed’s breathing like a sponge, squeezing water from its chest
and while i have a hunch
i do not fully get it yet, fully get it yet
i’m a lifestyle choice, not quite the schwa de vivre
is that the secret source of noise, like a mouse i thought i saw?
play “find the disembodied voice”
i used to always play to win
if it’s not in my crate of toys
then i don’t know where to begin
i don’t know where to begin
i grab the edges of the jagged cliffs of friendship
i dream in vivid tension and i always fail to mention
in the morning when scratch and yawn
repeat, almost deliberately, to distract me
i’m seated by the demand of our father
at the right hand of a toddler
he’s a never-ending sobber
and i hate seeing my face and seeing his
and that’s the way this evening is
how can i help it?

[chorus]
and you talk it to death, talk it to death
i’m naked like an emperor
and i’m prodded to breath, prodded to breath
talk it to death, talk it to death
i’m naked like an emperor
and i’m prodded to breath, prodded to breath

[verse 2]
what to utter’s my concern
the circles start to settle in
they’ve come to make my b-tter churn
to make my b-tter churn
i’ve got options, i suppose
i could make a clean escape
i can walk longer than most
maybe return to ticker tape
i’m an -sshole and i gape
i’m an -sshole and i gape
it’s easy to lead little boys to prison
lock ’em in and never miss ’em
if you wanna make a mockery of heart
then that’s a proper way to start
but if i manage to do just as much damage just by being me
who would ever wanna stick their head out mama’s sauna
and emerge into a world of tangled cables
and small towns that aren’t stable?
i’d love to say i know myself
but i keep trying to hide my purse from me
