lyrics

They say when you put two mudpuppies
In a pail together they'll fight to the death
Like two cats tied at the tail
When we moved in together
I felt the pail close around us
And I watched as though I wasn't inside
As though I wasn't there

At first I thought my life would sit
outside the walls
Making room for you
And find the cracks to seep into
But our tails were tied
And when I pulled you pulled I pulled
And we'd go to bed at night
Covered with scratches

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there
And I want to scratch you
Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

But when I scratch you're not there
You're not there
I'm alone in the pail
And I've seeped into all the cracks
I keep biting and scratching
Biting scratching at nothing
Hoping you'll be there when I open my eyes
When I open my eyes

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there
And I want to scratch you
Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

Just so we, just so we can
Go to bed again
