Take Human Bites

from Coin Toss Timelines by Little Big Toe

lyrics

The bees align with a savage mind
swarming from their startled nest
the damages are quickly dressed
and a faulty crane to the naked eye is right as rain
the pieces that it can’t pick up gain weight as they fall from the top
and the crickets sing in a choral harmony
umbilical progressions cease and the pause wakes babies from their sleep

A piercing even keeled stare spoke a thousand syllables
I couldn’t understand a single one
I’m growing quite tired of this chessboard
I’m a pawn always one step behind your next move

When the hymen breaks, the wedding gown is colored in champagne
but she’ll wear white anyway for her mother and her father’s sake
For the way you are, you’ll get a shiny golden star
The act of punishment by reward
an example of flawed rationale

A piercing even keeled stare spoke a thousand syllables
I couldn’t understand a single one
I’m growing quite tired of this chessboard
I’m a pawn always one step behind your next move

So plant your feet and don’t look down
you’ll get inside your head that way
The beat of hearts could deafen drums
Turn the knobs up to the maximum
The window is cracked and all the belts are strapped
a straightjacket suffocates
So accept defeat, numbed hands and feet
Our limbs just will not bend that way

The only way out is the same way in, take out your compass
I’ll walk right into you to prove I’m not invisible
I’ll grant the final wish for (four) more wishes

Find a way to strengthen your grip, yours is weak
How am I supposed to trust you, you can’t even look me in the eye
A loophole in the system is what got me here
Thank you for the hint, you’ve saved me years of confusion
