lyrics

my shoes they have big holes
and my mind it has holes too
my toes they are so frozen
and my thoughts are frozen too
my feet they are so restless
and my heart is restless too
my eyes are red and swollen
and the sky is swollen too
this place is oh so random
and random is all I knew
life it teaches you crap
and crap divides in two

and this is what the neighbors sing:

life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible

my prison, it has no walls
and my mind has no walls too
the inmates are all so tired
and the guard is tired too
my demons they look like angels
and angels they look like you
people pray to gods
but gods are helpless too

and this is what the angels sing:

life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible

my sugar it tastes like salt
and life tastes salty too
once you find a clump of gold
just paint it red and blue
take a trip to the dead sea
and float until you're due
there in the salty waters
the creatures will sing to you

and this is what the creatures sing:

life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible
