Tenterhooks
Peter Sagar
hanging on tenterhooks
faking some tender looks
tryina move through a crowd
everyone talking so loud
walls listen in on me
listening to other things
feel myself drying up
feel myself turn into dust
chewing on aspirin
try to be water and wash it down
like i can't help myself
like i could even tell
ati up give in
i could be water if i do
give me no place to go
give me no one i know
taking my middle out
leave my feet on the ground
let my head drift away
thinking of something to say
washing machine will spin
space will move slowly in
all the while being now
everything being around
