Bilingual
I've got itchy feet in my veins
Pumped by a crumpled heart
Got dreams that know no reins
But agoraphobic guts
I'm a live wire ready to fire
But can't seem to leave the bath
In love with having desire
But learned how much that costs
I'm not a goal, half a shot on target
All finesse left when you parted
Miles behind though I false started
Since you I've only loved half-hearted
I hate that I'm
Jealous of the black and white
Tumours deep inside
That would explain what's in my mind
And all the races where I fell behind
But there's nothing between my ears
Except crunching rusty gears
That unwisely tell you my fears
I could still be yours after all these years
She feeds me to the existential
With her eyes that burn like the sun
All that work to stop being mental
She glides in and it comes undone
Of course she was transcendental
She always could pull it out the bag
And my regret and doubt was intestinal
I always knew how to lose what I had
She two-foot tackles all hope away
With a look that sighs "are you okay?"
So you trudge to the bar to descend and pray
One day you might stop being her prey
So now I'm
Sprinting to hell beneath
With the bit between my teeth
There the guys see something in me
Now I've burned all I could be
With so much I could have done
I'm sweating at every setting sun
I'm just a bullet without a gun
Shoot yourself to still be young
You thought you'd be fine this time
Thought you'd broken the back of the climb
But her eyes are parasites
That keep me up at night
I'm still shivering on the beach
Once more she shimmers into the breach
The kind of stuff you can't teach
Every time it breaks me
