Shrapnel

looking so damn good, I'm gonna have to forget it
listen to the mimic, it's almost on
drink 'til you hit me with the tall potion
think quick, how much more insult
will it take for me to break your light bulb?
(chorus)
shrapnel
shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
it's hard to breathe 'cause you wear a fitted target
tug upon the choke chain
travel the cold rain
of course I came to show you shrapnel
check your mail, climb your ladder
count the pieces you've managed to gather
doesn't matter what you're trying to achieve
let go of your throat if you're dying to breathe
and finally we, we're gonna make a little progress
ain't a single rock in this river that can stop us
lost in the mist like a feeble overdose
got me screaming at these sheep until these people know what's up
yeah, slug's back with his collection of hub caps
caught a buzz and brought a notebook full of love raps
open the pipes and tuck that voice in
I'm gonna stand on this corner and nibble on my poison
maybe once in awhile I find a reason to smile
but most of the time, it's spent deep in denial
it's all make believe, I want the cake to eat
but this lake's too deep to try to stand on two feet
wondering about the thunder running through this blood
I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug
studied the love
took my degree, shoved it into a bottle
chucked it into the sea
(chorus)
shrapnel
