Every Single Night

Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly swelling to a blaze
That's where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in
Oh every single night's alight
With my brain
What'd I say to her?
Why'd I say it to her?
What does she think of me?
That I'm not what I ought to be?
And what I turn out to be has got to be somebody else's fault
I can't get caught
If what I am is what I am
'Cause I does what I does
Then brother, get back, 'cause my breast's gonna bust open
The rib is the shell, and the heart is the yolk
And I just made a meal for us both to choke on
Every single night's a fight with my brain
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
So I'm gonna try to be still now
Gonna renounce from the mill for a while
And if we had a double king sized bed
We could move in it and I'd soon forget
That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does
And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open
My heart's made of parts of all that's around me
And that's why the devil just can't get around me
Every single nights alright, and every single night's a fight
And every single fight's alright, with my brain
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
