chipping away at drywall and tearing out the sockets 
underneath a busted overhead, god help this apartment 
it’s the long-due rewiring of a home, mind, and broken heart 
and it’s already started, albeit with much reluctance so far 

what’s the point when it’s easier to forget 
sleep away the day its easier to forget 

sharing a cigarette outside talking outside Charlie’s Kitchen 
on the verge of burning out I said, “this is really some Thanksgiving” 
when the power of your words ran in a current through my brain 
“man, if your fucked up it ain’t your fault but its yours if you stay that way” 

what’s the point when it’s easier to forget 
leave it ‘til tomorrow it’s easier to forget 

if you need a safe place to crash come around 
I’ve got a well-lit living room and a comfy couch 
in the morning we can sit by the stove and talk all about 
how taking good care of yourself ain’t as easy as it sounds 

if you need a safe place to crash gimme a shout 
I’ve got a pretty view of the sunrise over downtown 
in the morning we can sip on some joe and talk all about 
how taking good care of yourself ain’t as easy as it sounds 

chipping away at drywall a mess of cables on the carpet 
it’s a nightmare upstairs, there have been times I’ve almost lost it 
winging it D.I.Y. with everything at my disposal 
its all error and trial, until the energy flows and the filament glows

Rewire
