The body's singing without speaking
You bit your brass ring off like a monster,
Wouldn't leave you alone
You skinned the bastard to his bones in case you got cold

Normally sent with a dream,
I had to laugh when I woke to the sound of the gun
That was the best nightmare that I just woke up from
Normally sent with a heart attack,
All your attempts were canonized
Blessed with a wreck of a heart of lead,
I broke my back to spite my spine

Delightful ring around your neck, you fool them all
Don't I feel so goddamn worthless
I'll bet that took all of your last nerve,
But you're used to this
It's not plugged in, but the phone is ringing

Time's up for devouring, your appeal's waning
You want to right the wrongs,
But you chewed up everyone that you spit on
Sometimes halcyon weeks make me believe
I should be relieved enough
You were the best nightmare that I just woke up from

The last night that I waited on
(You'll lose your sleep in time)
Your mind knows what your body wants
(You'll lose your step in time)
You move so fast sometimes
I fell so far behind
You'll lose your step in time
