lyrics

stare out blank and I wonder why
but my mind just can't replace
what shrunken brown clump of dirt now stands there?
it's my face

i want to live beyond myself but i fall farther in the hole
gotta stick my heart in a microwave and drain this soggy soul
soggy soul

so i drive my car around all day listening to book on tape
"beowulf" by seamus heaney
my mind starts to escape
but in the end i come to myself and i drive into a toll
gotta ditch this car and ditch this dark and thaw my frozen soul

bundled tight and feeling fright
not ready nor steady to go
gotta keep my head in a better place
gotta steady up nice and slow
i know that things could be much better
and i really do want to change
gotta stick my head in a microwave
and thaw away the drain on my soggy soul
