Fingers |
You can always find a warm place that will smile backwards at you |
Filled with fine folks that can’t get their fingers out of their mouths |
But one night, when sleep fell out of favor |
I decided to shuffle around my furniture |
And I couldn’t stop cleaning |
Till the broom was sore and all of those sponges bleeding |
I left a mess all over the floor |
Then left through the window just to spare the door |
Of a house that burned down before I was born |
Chores carried out in a vacuum |
Or shoving a stone up a hill |
Ascribing the absurd a meaning |
Bearing no likeness to what it will |
It was then that I noticed my finger bleeding |
I, for one, blame the thumb |
You find the room’s exit |
In that it’s just a handful of walls |
Not one thing is everything |
And not everything has a meaning |
But you can lie |
You can lie |
You can lie |
You can always lie |
The sense of defeat was strong and in its season of feeding |
And the broom was all numb and all the sponges now meaty |
So I laid out on the floor |
