Mortar

Mortar Lyrics

i brushed my teeth
after morning meal
i used colorless language
to describe how i feel today

i recall a
glimpse of the sun
high above me
through the wire glass
i recall a
time when i would run
before they took
my reason away

let me lie
use my device
of disguise
let me lie still

i look at the wall
and practice my face of innocence
a knife from a nail
to measure my strength against
again

i recall the
sharp smell of gasoline
burning brightly
enlightening me
now i'm stuck here
and i flip through magazines
in the waiting room
of my memory
