Clean Your Plate (B​-​Side)

from The Enabling Act (Part 2: Water) by Prisoner of Earth

/

lyrics

Majestic creature are you, my friend
Better half left behind beside the road
Stuck to my car and pulled like gum
They say your insides could wrap around the globe

My stomach can only stretch from my bed
Down the stairs and into the bathroom
Like mud and gravel has filled my head
Mind swimming in a murky lagoon

Made it through the door
Crumpled to the tile
I think I might be here
For a while

Some nights I feel like I’m lacking
Some nights I feel your hands in my mouth
Pulling my teeth I find myself screaming
Just get out, get out
Just get out, get out

Pathetic creature are you, my friend
Disgraced, defiled, defaced
And petrified to the end
Checkered flag for a careless driver’s race

And now my head’s resting on my arm
Haven’t puked in a minute but I feel so near
And all I could want is to be warm
But I’m so comfortable right here

Porcelain gleam
Florescent flicker
Moving me would just
Make me sicker

Just come back later
You’re out of your depth
And I just want
To catch my breath

Some nights I need to go out to drink
Some nights I taste road kill in my mouth
Some nights I just wanna drown in my sink
So please, just get out, get out

Deer, inside out in the summer heat
You’ve been scratching at the back of my teeth
I’m just waiting for everyone that loves me
To realize they’ve lost their faith in me

It’s just like Mommy used to say
Baby you have to clean your plate
I deserve everything
That’s sprawled in front of me

It’s just like Mommy used to say
Baby you have to clean your plate
