lyrics

I woke up today and found three young men trampling through my home. They broke my arms, smashed my legs, and left me there alone. If these limbs could speak, you'd see you're killing me.

Three years ago, a couple carved a mediocre heart with their initials and a promise not to die upon my bark. If these limbs could speak, you'd see you're killing me.

A haphazard cigarette scares me half to death, because once it goes, there is just no amount of human breath or water to prevent the killing. See?
