Beggar

Count the heads with shards of glass and call them up to take their pass
Push my face into the stain and scold me like the dog I am
A fool like me can live off disregard forever
You can be as deaf as you want; I can play dead all I want

You should have reveled in the dirt with the newborns
I can bloat up my chest hopped up on medicine
You should have eased into the sewage that grips you
I can bake in the sun but I'm living like Jesus

Bring me up with calls of joy and cool me down with soothing ploys
Lay the cloth across my face and water down the rag with rye
A fool like me can live off of disregard forever
You can be as deaf as you want; I can play dead all I want

You should have reveled in the dirt with the newborns
I can bloat up my chest hopped up on medicine
You should have eased into the sewage that grips you
I can bake in the sun but I'm living like Jesus

I gnawed at the legs that your mother brought home
I took what I could but it made me feel wrong
I stepped on your face as while the lights were out
I took out your eyes cause they never felt right

You should have reveled in the dirt with the newborns
I can bloat up my chest hopped up on medicine
You should have eased into the sewage that grips you
I can bake in the sun but I'm living like Jesus
