  • Oh, just leave it all
    We found the pipe here that leaks between the walls
    cnd like you it begins to all wash away from within
    No more time on your side, nothing to tie you here
    It's like sticks and stones and rubber and glue
    Letters strung together that get stuck on you
    Don't stick around here to feed the mouth that bites you
    I can see it in your eyes and your black and blues
    Familiar is the spice and it salts your wounds
    Don't stick around here to feed the mouth that bites you
    Oh, it'd be your shame
    If you became another hanger in the closet where you hung yourself to blame
    With the letters of your name, feel lost and rearranged
    To the corner, to the man, a man, a man
    Every day you wash your body down
    Can't scrub away the scars beneath your skin
    It's like sticks and stones and rubber and glue
    Letters strung together that get stuck on you
    Don't stick around here to feed the mouth that bites you
    I can see it in your eyes and your black and blues
    Familiar is the spice and it salts your wounds
    Don't stick around here to feed the mouth that bites you Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON
