Peel It The Fuck Down

Jawbreaker
(album: Etc.)

Met my mother in a dream.
She was just a stranger on the street.
We averted eyes.
Time will vindicate us all someday.
Some, anyway.

Why is my face so wide?
Cheek to cheek is almost chin to eye.
I´m in a bucket seat.
Anger is a car door I can´t reach.
I can´t reach.

Don´t close the door on me.
I need the light to sleep.
Your shadow on the ceiling.
Toothpaste on my teeth.
There´s books but I can´t read.
Lay back and count the strange men.
Mix toys from different sets.
Lick felt tips, get them wet.
The AFX is broken.
God damn that closet door.
Every night it´s war.
Who will get there first?

This is a waking dream.
Sometimes I greet my nightmares with relief.
So I walk with that first step.
One leg holds its own or else it dies.
Still, it tries.

Don´t close the door on me.
I need the light to sleep.
Your shadow on the ceiling.
Toothpaste on my teeth.
There´s books but I can´t read.
Lay back and count the strange men.
Mix toys from different sets.
Lick felt tips, get them wet.
The AFX is broken.
God damn that closet door.
Every night it´s war.
Who will get there first?

Don´t close the door on me.
I need the light to sleep.
Your shadow on the ceiling.
Toothpaste on my teeth.
There´s books but I can´t read.
Lay back and count the strange men.
Mix toys from different sets.
Lick felt tips, get them wet.
The AFX is broken.
God damn that closet door.
Every night it´s war.
Who will get there first?
