I'm Not Ready to Relax - The Cactus Channel, Sam Cromack

All of my life

Bump and then move

Pickles and patchwork

Find no groove

Cut my own tongue

Cut it right out

Peace with the maker

Milking this cow

For all of its worth

Bleeding it dry

Hang the skull

And place it high

Talking of tokens

Talking of trauma

Talking of what and never why

Why would you do this

Why would you hurt me

I’m not acting in your play

What do you need

Poison my feed

And i’ll be on my way

But i’m not ready to relax

This curled up spine was once a back

I’m at your mercy but i’m soft

Shut the door

Switch the light

I’m drifting off into the night

When i speak you hear lies

Pull on your ears

What can you hear

What can you hear inside my core

I am your maker

Need a new battery

It’s gonna be different from before

It’s gonna be good

I’ll be the best bit

Cos now i’m acting in your play

I meet your needs

Poison your feed

And i’ll be on my way

But i’m not ready to relax

This curled up spine was once a back

I’m at your mercy but i’m soft

Shut the door

Switch the light

I’m drifting off into the night

When i speak you hear lies

When i’m wrong

When i’m right

I’m drifting off into the night

When i speak you hear lies

So forgive me
