Alive and Vexing

Waiting all night for a call you never wanted
Third mortgage taken out, houses pre-haunted
I love the sound of breaking glass
Alive and Vexing

Shoved behind the gates all of your life
Shopped American in a credentialed burgundy mall
Signs of life, someone scales a wall
Alive and vexing

Alive and vexing

Tornadoes and mosh pits, Kant and Hegel
All of the things they do to the young and able
And yet they persist
Alive and vеxing

Waking up to the sounds of talk radio
Waking up to a starter pistol
Draw the shadе, engage the ritual
Alive and vexing
