Such a Kind Stranger

Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic

These rough hands could start a fire
Exfoliate the day
It's a tough pill to swallow
When the pillow feels like stone
Wish I could hibernate
But I'd lose what's at stake
It's getting easier with time

I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is hopeless
In a few years, we'll be laughing
Take a few years to view the world

My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Mean I can't, means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
I can't starve

Free the moths 'cause they are tired
Of filling pocket space
Write a memoir on a napkin
I wish I could hibernate
But I'd lose what's at stake
It's getting easier with time

I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is the new world

My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Mean I can't, means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve

Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic

I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is hopeless

My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Means I can't means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
Means I can't means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
