Scrap Metal
bitch and animal Lyrics

How do I feel?
Asking about my emotional state

Its funny you should ask,
My emotional instability is ironic

I stopped looking then just crashed
I lost focus and metaphorically fell apart

And everything shattered, including the light
Complete destruction of my surroundings

Much never mattered, nothing was right...
I felt overwhelmed and hopeless.

no coincidence was today the day she breezed in
The timing of her arrival was unexpected

Reality said 'catch me' and instead got smashed in
My attempt to grasp reality failed spectacularly

All over the intersection with our love note last
We crashed at the spot where our love was expressed

What was that, was that me?
Questioning my involvement in the accident

What just hit me like a ton?
Wondering about the impact of the crash on me

Just when you think you're done being shown..
Life throws curveballs even when you least expect them

I know three seconds before me and one behind
Reflecting on the timing of the accident

Wed still be flying at 65
Realizing the speed at which we were traveling

But something just hit me like every fatal "shoulda been"
It could have been much worse

(well, it shoulda been me in your eyes)
Feeling undeserving of her love

I wanna go down on you, drive my fingers round on you, open four lanes wide with you, get high with you, just lie with you.
Expressing desire to be intimate with her in every way possible

Roll down the road with you, space grows with you, get high with you, just lie with you..
Wishing to travel through life with her, to be deeply connected on every level

put your hands on the wheel, ask me how I feel
Offering to let her take control and talking about emotions

I'll space out, no doubt
I will zone out and let my mind wander

I gotta work that one out
I need to figure things out for myself

I can't find it without collision
I need negative experiences to grow

You're seeing what's blocked from your vision
She can see what I cannot

I am wrapped up in my van
I am physically and mentally trapped

I better put her on the line, I take it as a sign that something loud had to happen
Calling her as a response to the crash, hoping to fix things

New roads to be mapping
Looking towards the future

I'll give you light where you give light, I'll give you weight where you give weight
Promising to reciprocate in the relationship

When you screamed "I didn;t have time to hit the breaks!"
Hearing her scream and realizing how close we were to disaster

Snap your head around, make sure I'm okay, you grab the registration to see who has to pay
Evaluating our physical well-being and figuring out the responsible party

I'm a hazards-blinking fragmented mess, my house is a wreck, my love's an insect
Feeling physically and emotionally destroyed

All I can do is reflect: "cause everything shattered including the light, much never mattered and nothing was right.
Ruminating on the destruction and despair caused by the accident

I let go and got trapped
Relinquishing control as a mistake

This is just scrap.
The wreckage is now meaningless and empty

This is just scrap metal on the intersection making noise.
The accident is now trivial, a meaningless disturbance

I'm holding on to this wheel, like its the hardest thing to feel
Clutching the steering wheel nervously

Like highways are the markers I can scratch on my correction
Using roads to find my way in life

If I get some major road I can just drive into protection
Escaping to an easier path out of fear of failure

I can dream on all the downhills, miss the wish, a hope it fills
Basking in the joys of life and the thrill of chasing your dreams

Dress it all up and call it 'no frills'
Simplifying life to avoid stress

My bones are jerked around and it kills
The physical toll taken by difficult experiences

I wanna blow this up, make it blast
Feeling anger and frustration with the situation

I wanna see how hard it will smash,
Feeling a desire to see the chaos and destruction that would result

I wanna bang forces, metaphorphis this
Desiring the power to change and transform life

I wanan rub my skin up and down , not head trip around and around
Wanting physical intimacy rather than mental gymnastics

I wanna make songs like they're a forcefull field
Expressing myself through music

Like if I call on you, you come singing and real
Inspiration for others to come together and express themselves

And I can call up serenity and she'll come up form the ditch and say 'what do you need my bitch?
Finding inner peace within myself

like a firey fierceful field, kickback while I take the wheel
Celebrating and embracing life's intense moments

Call out to where the songs come in
Looking towards music as a source of inspiration and community

Around this pain-in-the-ass accident
Continuing to process the aftermath of the crash

They hover above, just like our love
Feeling their presence and love still hovering around

you talk me round about how love is bound,
Discussing the nature of love

And tie me up in tongues too true for the taking
Expressing love in ways that are too deep to be fully understood

I can lick, licking and suck, sucking right on down to the much we're ducking
Expressing physical intimacy through wordplay and metaphor

The catastrophes there and the crashings there
Acknowledging that life is filled with difficult moments

And every passway we're rehashing's there
The memories of past struggles continue to haunt us

And she was there and we were there and I looked down and my heart was bare
Taking moments to reflect on the past and present

And screamed into the breaks that this is how it makes Love to you
Expressing the complicated, tumultuous nature of love

well forget about all of that crap
Realizing the futility of worrying about past struggles

Cause this is just scrap metal on the interestion making noise
The wreckage is now meaningless noise on the road of life
