 Palm Muted
 your husband,
 he drinks like a writer,
 but he writes like a banker,
 i hope his pens all run dry.
 you watch him from your cave in the corner,
 full moon eyes flame and flicker,
 the wild way that i like.
This lead part is played during the next verse.

 from my part,
 i pretend i don't notice
 dumb friend you're a poet,
 and i could do this all night.
 and i'll stay  like that,
 hands locked  in my lap,
 what i want  jailed up in my mind,
 until i slide  to sleep
 where you're waitin'  for me,
 and we do  what we want to,
 and shut  ourselves off for the night.
 Not Muted
 til morning barrels in like a brides maid,
 drunk and desperate for her day,
 drags me out, picks a fight.
 and i see i'm alone here
 picture frames and a hot plate
 stubborn sun spites the hallways
 paint chips blink yellow white.
 and i'm stretching, in the act of forgetting,
 bear teeth and blood letting,
 signals crossed half my life.
 and the local  grown
 sees your notes towards my home,
 dreaming fits  as we crawl underground,
 and you're shedding  skin,
 so i keep what i can.
 yeah i fill  up my pockets,
 and stuff all that's left in my mouth.
 now you are a part of me,
 for as long as i sleep.
 i could trick myself into a trance,
 where were as firm as facts,
 and i don't give you back
 every morning the sun comes to shuttle you back to your man.
 Feedback is appreciated.
