lyrics

Docile confines of my four white walls
4 x 6 pictures hang of my kids, my wife and dog
My thoughts off somewhere else, feel an itch at the back of my throat
Come to and realize in my haze my hand had wrote

Scour my arms and hands to sense history in my skin
In these hard calluses could the proof I need exist?
Can’t help but dually feel that isn’t my only life
I feel they’re at most in sync while I wield this butter-knife

I lack a little bit
Lack a little bit of information
It’s tempting me
It’s my missing piece

After hours at work
Something told me to stay
As abandoned as a church
On a Monday
Feel my hair stand on end
All my nerves at their edge
Hazy memories are all clearing

Top off my coffee
As I hear my landline beep
Incoming call at this hour
Seems more than odd to me
Pick up the receiver
Wait for what comes next
With two near muted words
Feel my whole self regress
With that whisper…

I got a little bit, got a little bit of information
It was calling me
Am I complete
