lyrics

if i see you today, i wanna have something to say...

no c notes just playin' these middle c notes
in the haze of gray weed smoke, i'm staring through at the easel
when i check the peep hole there's no people
and i'm a dull pencil, a broken vessel..

so i watch psycho but muted with all the lights off
put on a little michael, put on rachmaninoff
i chain smoke 'til the sun starts comin' up
in a dark castle, a broken vessel

and i'm so restless tryn figure how to address this
the issue why no checks is coming towards my address
when i check the checklist, first is make a checklist
but i got no stencil, a broken vessel

and i just hate shit. i hate shit for the sake of hatin'
i'm runnin' outta patience. i'm bout to be a patient..
but i know all about the laws of feng shui.
i shouldn't left you standin' lone by the doorway.

and i don't trust 'em like shiny shields of justice.
i never been well adjusted, just fake it when i'm forced to..
and each week dreamin' up a new scheme,
to pay the rental, a broken vessel

all my favorite tv shows about men with trust issues
and then i watch tv, while i'm fallin' asleep
and the feeling's embedded in me and puts me ill at ease.

i'm a vessel. i'm a broken vessel.
