I Stare at Floors

[Verse 1]

The day comes

Same as before

Goes out again

Television, a concave window

Lawyers and murderers

The law is confusing

The order makes no sense

[Chorus]

Scratching the skin

Staring at walls

Staring at floors

The plan today is not to die

The cure-all is always over ice

Toasting the globe

Cursing those who live on it

Drinking it down and drinking it down

Keeping it down and keeping it down

[Verse 2]

People and their faces

Like a beautiful thing

Falling down the stairs

So-called friends

Between them and I

May be there be a poison ocean

[Chorus]

Scratching the skin

Staring at walls

Staring at floors

And not at eyes

That's where the soul lies

New memories are strangers I will never meet

Rheumy old thoughts are constant companions

[Post-Chorus]

Nipping at me

Nipping and barking at me

Nipping and barking at me

[Bridge]

All them

Why do they come?

Why don't they die?

Why don't they die?

[Outro]

I stare at floors

Until my eyes bleed

It's just a social disease

And now I'm free
