Subject: Death Becomes You

I've hit a wall
I can go right through
When I'm emptied out
Of being at odds with you

You can hit the wall
You can bounce right back
Because you're holding me responsible
For your panic attack

I got my back against a wall
I turn into the corner
And I scratch and claw all over

I'm painted in
I don't want to turn white
From the bland coat
That blankets this night

I can stand
I can fall
I can fall on my ass
Getting covered in chalk

The paint can spilled
It's a half inch thick
All over the floor
And I'm feeling sick

I surrender
As I hang from a hook
I fall asleep
Then I rest in the brook

Streams of living water
Suddenly I'm free
I look to find you
Covered in paint, angrily

I call you over
You trip over the can
You bang your head into the corner
Then you fall back, just fall back, man

I've hit a wall
I can go right through
When I'm emptied out
Of opposing you

You can hit the wall
You can bounce right back
Because you're blaming me
In your panic attack

You got your back against a wall
You turn into the corner
You scratch and claw all over
You scratch and claw all over

Come on in, the water's fine
It's so clear and cool
I'd call it divine

What's the matter with you?
Like an invisible wall
You can't get over me
Or over yourself
You can't get over the v-shaped shelf
Just walk through
You can't walk through?
The water's fine
It's almost tasting you

You're painted in
You don't want to turn white
From the bland coat
That blankets this night

You can stand
You can fall
You can fall on your ass
Getting covered in chalk

The paint can spilled
It's a half inch thick
All over the floor
You're feeling sick

You surrender
You hang from a hook
You fall asleep
Then rest in the brook

Streams of living water
Suddenly you're free
You look to find another
Covered in paint, angrily

You call them over
They trip over the can
They bang your heads into the corners
Then they fall back, just fall back, man

Will the circle be unbroken by and by?
You're round and round in circles
Trying so hard to break free
You must break the circle
To stop the cycle of repeats

He will be with them
As they find their own ways
All of us at one time
Become neighborhood strays

When you hit the wall
You can go right through
When you're emptied out
Of not forgiving what they do.
