lyrics

my new direction in pornography
quells my speech, past sedation
it overfeeds a curiosity
and leaves me scarred to scratch the blinds

any minute now, they'll come barging in
the streets are there, to guard my room
I took a stab at love but it stabbed me back
and this I've learned
is a difficult career

convictions you assign me
now it's off with my head
so go home
and break some bread

I'm scared to death to take a natural breath
these deafening creaks, and floating ideas
my loyal spouse isn't quite herself
she's messing around
she can't sit still

addictions always find me
now it's off with my head
so go home
and break some bread
