The Halfwit in Me - Ryley Walker

I kept your word

In place of mind

Divine rights

Of the godless implied

And the halfwit in me couldn’t keep time

A tuneless trumpet

Breaks down the stone

Weight of the keep and take

Contracted by loan

And the halfwit in me stayed out all night

Go on ahead

Build another home

For lean mean eaters

Everything but the bone

Call yourself lucky, we never use the phone

Borrow headspace

From tomorrow and on

Everybody has papers

If they’re in on the con

And the halfwit in me kept on keeping on

A Sunday sit down

We still end up short

A life to confess

We still pay less

And the halfwit in me will have one more
