you built a mighty fine brick wall
i crash into you, brick and mortar and all
contusions and concussions between dead end discussions
they're cushioned, familiar collisions
sick intoxicating scent dig deep under my fingernails
tongue hot, body bent backwards for you
i love you
o, brick wall
you watch me squirm, but you're firm, you stand tall
and i could beg at you, tear and you, dig into you, with all my charm
unlike me, you never fall
eyelids weak, i flutter through the sheets
forcing myself to go through the motions
pacing myself, i take the lead
but i think you're gone - yeah, you're goin.
o, brick wall
my breaks fail, you cripple me
my breaks fail, you rip through me
and i can always count on running into you
leaving me for a fool
sick intoxicating scent dig deep under my fingernails
tongue hot, body bent backwards, for you
i’m a fool
