Just Cartilage - Steve Vai

Strength pose

End all

Of the same

Just leave it alone

Talk soft, thick and warm

And I’ll paint myself all smiles

For you to hold so close

Piston, in constant maintenance

So, swallow that cynicism boy

It’s ruining my air boy

I’d be sleeping with it now

If you hadn’t bit it’s wrist to the marrow

Christ, it lies on the ground

Face down and bleeding

I know you won’t have to tell me

All that you’ve found if it’s…

Just cartilage

I won’t be there

Shake your head… No… Because

It’s beyond the wall

And it’s beyond them all

And to listen to you

Is to bring the bastard close

To the damn thing

Christ, it lies on the ground

Face down it bled away

And you didn’t tell me all that you found was

Just cartilage

Holy shit man!
