lyrics

I don’t blame the thoughts that leak from my brain
Nor the words for refusing to join me on the page
If the spirit of the animal could slip from the cage
Why would it ever choose to stay?

I don’t blame my stomach for the aches
Or my hands and fingers when they shake
Or the food that seems to have no taste
And insists that it must take up space

I cannot think a thing it seems
My thoughts won’t be alone with me
And I can’t say I don’t understand it
It’s easier just to abandon

And I cannot do a thing it seems
I’m all talk, my actions won’t head
And I can’t say I don’t understand them
Never bothered to learn to command them

I don’t blame the ceiling when it doesn’t break
I don’t blame the rats who run in the race
I won’t blame the air if I’m to suffocate
I won’t gnaw at the walls if for not to escape

Are the weapons at fault for their part in the war?
Should we dry up the ocean for wrecking the shore?
Should we live in the landfills and never want more?
Get what we get never ask what it’s for

I cannot think a thing it seems
My thoughts won’t be alone with me
And I can’t say I don’t understand them
Well it’s easier just to abandon

And I cannot do a thing it seems
I'm all talk, my actions won’t heed
And I can’t say I don’t understand them
Never bothered to learn to command them
