Mothers - Lockjaw Lyrics

lockjaw

most of me sunk into the carpet what was left of you
asked me to leave
i was a broken thumbtack
i was a napkin in the rain
this is how it often goes
sold into captivity so long ago this is how it often goes
god knows i would know
i don't want your kind words
i want your ghost inside a thimble i woke up feeling mutilated
and i made my way
as best i could to my place
you love me mostly when i'm leaving you love me
mostly
you love me mostly when i'm leaving i was half gone when you met me
i cut out my tongue seeing yours would speak for the both of us
