lyrics

My feet are sore, don't want to wear heavy shoes no more.
Every toe knows where it wants to go. Hear them arguing down below.
Burn my shoes. Burn my socks. Rather walk on hot coals and sharp rocks.
My jaw is tired, even my teeth know my mouth's a liar.
No word it says holds any weight; blows out smoke, then dissipates.
Need no lips. Need no tongue. Spouting lies before air hits my lungs.
My back is broke, the rest of my body's in on the joke.
My fingers laugh at my hands. My knees hate how my legs stand.
When this life finally ceases we'll split into a million pieces.
My eyes hate giving my bad news.
My mouth hates taking my cues.
My hands hate paying my dues.
My feet hate my heavy shoes.
My mind hates where my body stays.
My body hates how my mind sways.
And my poor soul's left to pay.
Take off my shoes and I'd float away.
