Broken horns
Signal failure in the pack
I'm lacking
Human form
Twists too easily
Mess of age and aching
Smash into walls
I wanna be rock
Pavement coating my mind
and gravel filling my socks
This is my sweetheart decline
I'm throwing mud at the clock
Gonna topple bad times
Soft as a whisper's skin
All I want is tough love
Wanna be a ram
Nerves in my limbs begin
All I want is death when
Wanna be a ram
Got my wish
I'm impervious to slips
off steep cliffs
Down below
I see gentle people
hug their pillows
Smash into walls
I wanna be rock
Pavement coating my mind
and gravel filling my socks
This is my sweetheart decline
I'm throwing mud at the clock
Gonna topple bad times
Soft as a whisper's skin
All I want is tough love
Wanna be a ram
Nerves in my limbs begin
All I want is death when
Wanna be a ram
