Sharp with a hunch
Steady with a gun
Sour on the tongue
Catheter club
Heart skips a beat
Steady on his feet
No music playing

Measure the pause
Crave applause from the wounded others
Miserable thoughts
Burning leaves staring from the gutters
Through the window of your house
While you're out

Dull medicine
Limp like a string
Busted shoelace
Little time to waste
Subtle as Stone
Skin on the floor
Absent from the bone
Missing from the store
Spread to the edge
Stale bit of bread
And nothing worth saying

Measure the pause
Crave applause from the wounded others
Miserable thoughts
Burning leaves staring from the gutters
Through the window of your house
While you're out

Delicate again
Common sense took its leave of absence
Tarnished and afraid
To behave in a way that matters
Magic on the brain
Say goodbye to a dull reflection
Leaving for the day
To return through a bad connection
Speaking on the telephone
When you're home
