Baggage

Why does my world

Seem to crumble and curl

Every time I start

Picturing your face

And why does a stain

Seem to cloud any gain

I'm intending

When I'm sending of your name

And you won't want to hear this

Because it's a shame

I know it's a shame

The keepsake ring you gave me

Is now sitting at the thrift shop waiting to be born again

Why does my wrist

Seem to point to a fist

Every time I start

Picturing your face

And why do I burn

Still to have the final word

It's so stupid

And I know it sounds absurd

But you won't want to hear this

Because it's a shame

I know it's a shame

That all those fond reflections

Are now sitting in a fox lair

Buried under mud and rain

Doo doo doo doodoodoo

Doo doo doo doodoo

Doo doo doo doodoodoo

Why does my tongue

Long to fire like a gun

At just the slightest mention of your name

And why must it be

That I feel so mch hate inside of me

When I start thinking of you

I keep thinking of you just the same

Doo doo doo doodoodoo

Doo doo doo doodoo

Doo doo doo doodoodoo

Doo doo doo doodoo

Doo doo doo doodoodoo
