Bottles And Jars

Fur Patrol

I am twisting all the dials


And I'm tweaking all the buttons


And I'm sure that pretty soon


Pretty soon all of a sudden


It will hit me why I'm here


What I came for why I'm leaving


Why you're gone why you're gone why you're going why your gone


I am dipping both my feet into the waters of both rivers


Under both sides of this bridge that I have built to sit and think on


I have built from bank to bank


I have built to sit and think on, sit and think on


Think of you think of you sometimes





I am pacing up the corridor


And pacing down the hallway


I am pacing in the kitchen


In the bathroom, through the doorway


Of my bedroom, past the living room


I panic past the front gate


Till it happens, till it happens


Something had to happen





I am hammering the seconds on the table with my pencil


And my feet dissect the minutes through the hours


And the calendar you gave me I have shredded page from page,


Day from day from page from day


I cannot breathe for fear of failing


I cannot see all these bottles full of nervous words


And jars of lame excuses


All these bottles and jars of lame excuses
