Kill What You Eat

Why do you kill what you eat? Butting the fish for the family The cost of living with yourself is enough It's never letting up How do you sleep in your clothes? Dirt on the lawn, are you hungry? A rotten apple hasn't always been that I want my body back And do you always kiss the ground When somebody lets you down? Fighting like an insect That nobody wants around Shovel the ice when you need to Breathe through your hands to keep warm I broke a knuckle but it's not the same at all At least I broke the fall But if you go down swinging, I won't Stick in the gut and blood in your nose If I can't handle breathing smoke And the sound of a bottle being thrown If you want it now, just take it then Said, "You have to be kidding," you were laughing then The air is on, the cat got out Something else is missing, burn it out, blown out I'm speeding now, the air is cold I'm breaking things, I swear I've never felt so old If I say it's not really all that much I'm cutting out the heart of the fish I caught On the lake I made, on that very place I could've broken through the ice that day But I'll never know 'cause I ran away And left you there to take my place
