Spilled Water

please take it easy on me
I talk to myself more than anyone else I know
and I'm only so hard on
because so I'm hard on myself
where the hell did all my teeth go
I tried to swallow everything I know

now even this song is silent
and even food feels hungry to me
this water just tastes thirsty
they've written
the same damn thing
maybe someone else will bring
something else to talk about
when we finally get it
all out

I'm watching it pour cupped hands
it's spilling out on the floor
and I'm grasping, grasping dumb
mouth wide open and numb
but please take it easy on me
where the hell did my teeth go
because I'm new to this
when I tried to swallow everything I know

and all that sensitive bullshit
doesn't make me feel much better
not knowing and knowing that
it's looking like someday lately
a friend said it's not the dreams
I'll miss that yellow room
and making you spit
reptile laughs on a rock in the sun.
