Knockout Mouse

from Moon Gear by Basic Printer

/

lyrics

Wood boards surrounding me everywhere
Just how will I get through it?
A base of secrets and carpentry
Nothing left but me for the sky

Let’s get to the trees
I think I need a better point of vision
The clouds are just within arm’s reach
I’m a mouse.

I’m the knockout mouse, and I just want out

From the constrictive nature of your head’s construction

A day spent littered in periphery
I wonder if they’ll ever even see me
This place requires my maintenance
It lacks the attention that it needs

I’d gladly give my life for your brain
If it means that you see me
Some day, I wanna die for the sake
Of you tripping on my body

I’m the knockout mouse, and I just want out

From the constrictive nature of your head’s construction

One day you’ll see me and you’ll be free
But now I’m crawling in your hyper vision
Come to, and feel the crawl of your veins
And I’ll just take the reins

Somehow you’ve built this house all for me
And yet the rent keeps coming
The slack is more than I could need
Pull the rope

I’ll crawl into your ear in the night
You won’t even feel a tickle
And if I can just get inside
You’ll find that I keep you alive

I’m the knockout mouse, in the constrictive nature of your head’s construction.

One day you’ll see me and you’ll be free
But now I’m crawling in your hyper vision
Come to, and feel the crawl of your veins
And I’ll just take the reins
