Claws Clipped

from My Wonderful Life by Robert Gently

lyrics

I wear your smile over my frown,
And I'm never around,
And I grab my shoe laces
To drag my feet,
Its the only way I get around.

It keeps me warmer when its warm,
And colder when its cold,
Its not the worst thing in the world,
Its just making me old
And makes me scarder when I'm bold.

There's not a single tooth in this skull of mine,
And if I want to survive,
I guess I'll have to hide.
It tears up all my insides,
But it keeps me alive.

I wear your smile over my frown,
And it sneaks into my heart,
Gathers all of my worst parts,
Wears them like a gown,
And it follows me around.

It always rains
When she's nice to me,
And the sun only shines
When she'd rather not be.
People keep their thoughts
Inside a little box,
But its never really there,
And its never really happening.
People are always thinking,
But not about anything,
And its never really there,
And its never really happening, its never really happening, its. . .

Its not the worst thing in the world.

Its just empty space.
