Lyrics

Linear Guy?capo up five?key of G?use a damned pick, boy)

I am a linear guy
Connecting my dots day to day
Manufacturing sense
Then failing and painfully
crawling away

I am a linear guy
In a world that?s made mostly of curves
Where nothing is straight
I sip analgesics as
I lurch and swerve

But in this moment I can bend
And shed my need to comprehend
And you can be my ibuprofen
In this moment

I?ve grown most respectably thick
Except where my hair?s falling out
I am shedding and stout
On weakening ankles I wander about
I?ve got a slight scratch in my throat
That keeps me from speaking my mind
I cough up a goat
Inhale analgesics to
stiffen my spine

But in this moment I can breathe
I?ve got no motives up my sleeve
And you can be my
Pain reliever
In this moment

But this moment is hard to decode
I need to make sense of my road
I am choked with desire
And I?m vibrating tight as a string
But a string?s just a highway for waves
It?s these connections I crave
With a stiff shot of something
I?m sure I?ll be brave

And in this moment I can heal
You show me how to keep it real
At least until the moment is my
Morphine tablet

Yes in this moment I can hum
You call the tune I come un-numb
Until the moment is my only
Pain reliever
Morphine tablet
Ibuprofen
