Scabby Head and Legs

Thin end of the wedge, scabby head

Crawled under the bench, scabby legs

Pigeon on a ledge in the end

Pigeon on a nest, double eggs

Breaking when you say, "Who's to blame?"

Breaking when you say, "They're to blame"

How can we exist?

How can we know how to do this?

Torn to shreds, pigeon on a ledge

Pigeon on a ledge, scabby head and legs

Tightening the grip will break the eggs

Never ending new, measuring the roots

Getting out the tools to start a new

Climbing up the tree, grabbing at the nest

Tightening the grip will break the eggs

Pigeon on a ledge, scabby head and legs

Never ending new, getting out the tools

For measuring the roots

Measuring the roots of the tree

Deep into the ground, going deep

Choosing what to keep, treasure chest

Painful letting go off the rest

Dice that were unrolled came undone

Unraveling, the whole came undone

Breaking off a limb when you fell

Breaking off a branch, so you fell

Breaking when you say, "Who's to blame?"

Breaking when you say, "They're to blame"

How can we exist?

How can we know how to do this?

Torn to shreds, scabby head and legs
