(feat. Sage Francis) 



[Verse One] 

Lights flicker on the frame of a light sleeper, watching sports 

In a stained wife beater and boxer shorts 

The night creeps in between the uneven slides 

Of Venetian blinds and it sees signs of struggle 

He resides in a jungle where the weeds dry and tumble 

Every time he deserts love and leaves behind his troubles 

This time it seems he's finally humbled 

Defeated by the feline he's been trying to subdue, beaten while they cuddle 

Now subtle differences got him running from images 

Weird as it is circus mirrors are a serious fear of his 

He stays a safe distance from the scary kids 

Beard is big and he wears a wig in public appearances 

Here he is... half alive in the flesh suit 

Curiously appetized by the fresh fruit 

Served on a dish at his nightly help group 

Who dreamt of catching better Z's most people would've slept through 

If you ain't been through it, then you don't know the way the days 

Just waste away, a change of pace needs to take place 

I play with razorblades and I shake 

Till I shave my face in the break of day (light) 

Lights flicker on the frame of a light sleeper, watching sports 

In a stained wife beater and boxer shorts 

Sunrays creep, in between uneven slides 

Of Venetian blinds and it sees signs of struggle 

He hides a bundle of demons behind the stubble 

Sleep dehydrates until the dreams dry and crumble 

Bleeding out his eyes, the scene of the crime's a puddle 

Where he cries uncle and doesn't realize he's lovable 

In love, a girl doesn't purr cause she sees 

Something of hers stuck in a world that needs to be free 

And this cat gets tongue tied till she leaves 

A curiosity that could kill an entire species 

See these fingers of mine? Take a guess 

It's time to see if one of them fits the dark ring around your eye, she says 

So she sends me to a guy who signs permission slips 

And if his finger fits, he's gonna poke inside to see what's alive... 

He's gonna poke inside to see what's alive... 

He's gonna poke inside to see what's alive... 

He's gonna poke inside to see what's alive...
