(0318) unknown callers

nursery rhymes are sucking the life out of me.
going back and forth; repeating endlessly.
do the math to find out two plus two is five.
hooray for poisoning the air whenever i have to drive.

jaded by the mystery of broken art.
i read between the lines and try to play my part.
focusing on all the misplaced stars at night..
then realizing it was just my faulty sight.

$19.95 plus tax, shipping and handling.
if only someone picked up a phone to answer me.
unknown caller speaking in an unknown language,
and she drowned in the water that accumulated under that bridge.

i have so much left to say. i'm somewhere in between excuse and reason.
i let it float for days and days. i never make sense when i'm having trouble breathing.

i break my legs when i'm trying to escape..
i'll make mistakes when things are going great..
but i can't fake the way i'm feeling now.

no, this ain't something i know how to fake.
