Foot Shooter

well, the booze in my blood

runs fast and loud

and my brain shouts

down to my mouth

say whatever i think

say it at him

and when the dam bursts open

and you're drowned out, boy

better go outside, sit in your boat

and wait

'til you get washed away

hold onto your thumbs

tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh

lock up your ears, my dear,

i'm verbal when i am loaded

duck under that desk,

cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh

thicken your skin as i begin

to shoot myself in the foot again

and as the body succumbs

and my mouth goes numb

i limp out to the sound

of the breaking of broken toes

a vandal spoke

and in the stark and the sobering

dry sunlight

i will blink my eyes and

hope the blink can erase

all the shit that i said

and did

hold onto your thumbs

tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh

lock up your ears, my dear,

i'm verbal when i am loaded

duck under that desk,

cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh

thicken your skin as i begin

to shoot myself in the foot again

and if i shoot at you,

you should shoot at me, too

and we can drown in pools

of the thick dark words we threw

and as my face turns white

i apologize

i am sorry

it's not your fault

its mine

hold onto your thumbs

tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh

lock up your ears, my dear,

i'm verbal when i am loaded

duck under that desk,

cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh

thicken your skin as i begin

to shoot myself in the foot again
