Who are these people? How did we let them get a Word in edgewise? I’m not looking for forgiving ties I’m just looking for a way to survive I and I I’m not looking for forgiving ties I’m just looking for a way to survive I and I For me, for you And then for them, too I got stuck in a state of reluctance My hand was bitten by the mouth that it fed I tried to slip back into the bathroom A thought approached me As my fingers bled (Who are these people? How do they see me? Would they get up if I Let them down now? If they survive every buried disorder And come to terms with a life on the ledge I could be kind to myself in the mortar And take a moment with the hammer again (Who are you fooling? You’re just a turnstile I know the way And I can see myself down the line)
