Naked (But Still Stripping)

My tongue's tied and sliced in two

And wagging at both ends...

Yeah, I've learned to talk -

Both sides of my mouth makes sense

You'll see the skin of my teeth

But you won't see a smile

So here it is, the big truth

Hiding in the little lie...

My throw decides my aim

And with a phony voice

- Unserious to the end

As if I had a choice...

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning

Here's my eyes; the light is blinding

Here's my hands; my feet are running

Here's my head; my ass' coming ... yeah!

I'm naked but still stripping..

Luxury tends to be the same every day

But I know misery's for each in his own way..

I count on amputated fingers who I call a friend

The end is hard when brought about

By what you thought made sense...

My throw decides my aim and with a phony voice

- Unserious to the end as if I had a choice...

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning

Here's my eyes; the light is blinding

Here's my hands; my feet are running

Here's my head; my ass' coming - yeah!

I'm naked - but still stripping..

Some people live so close

To their bones; with just themselves to be

But I run around; inside myself

- Like something's after me

I take off my skin

Underneath there's nothing

Everything's gone ... A naked skeleton!

Piece of an arm piece of a leg

A piece of my tongue

And peace for everyone...

Here's my heart; my hope's drowning

Here's my eyes; the light is blinding

Here's my hands; my feet are running

Here's my head; my ass' coming ... yeah!
