He's pressing his hair very tight to his skin
His fingers are digging holes in his chin
He's jerking his head to the beat of his sweat
And he's rubbing his legs and his knees that are wet
He can feel all the nails in his fingers and toes
And his liver which itches and shivers and glows
His ears are bleeding but his feet are all right
His leach is long but he's holding up tight
He's trying to cough up the hair from his lung
While looses control of the back of his tongue
So he pushes the side of his hat at the wall
While trying to force his shoulders to fall (down)
Comforting his stomach that is crampy and hot
His elbows dig in and around it a lot
He can not stop counting the breaths that go out
As he's grinding his teeth and (is) trying to shout
For every scratch that his nails give his cheeks
He expects one degree less in his pillow and sheets
He is watched by the crowd as his legs and feed shrink
His only thought now is "what do they think?"
