Big Bite

Get ripe as I'm rotting

Stuck on the highway

Killing time and space

Think I'm better forgotten

Than hated in any way

Take a big bite, swallow it whole

Let the pit grow in my stomach

And if I can help it

Hold the pain forever

I can feel myself

Over my shoulder

Expecting me to crash and burn

Or something worse

Running in circles around my face

Wasting away to the sound of my own voice

Metal on metal

Shocking me conscious

I can taste the dirt on the back of my teeth

I know what I want

To heal and be healed

To watch it all burn

And finally be still

Take a big bite, swallow it whole

Let the pit grow in my stomach

And if I can help it

Hold the pain forever

I can feel myself

Over my shoulder

Expecting me to crash and burn

Or something worse

I know what I want

To heal and be healed

To watch it all burn

And finally be

Let the bugs bite

Let the girls fight

Let the boys fight harder

Let the bugs bite

Let the girls fight

Let the boys fight harder

Let the bugs bite (I can't feel myself)

Let the girls fight

Let the boys fight harder (over my shoulder)

Let the bugs bite (expecting me to)

Let the girls fight (crash and burn)

Let the boys fight harder (or something worse)
