Do I look like a pirate
When I wear those new boots I just bought?
Do I look like I'm trying
To plunder your gold and take off?
It was not my intention
though I know I've been expensive to the cause
Could you give an extension?
I’ll compose it, if it’s shit, I’ll get lost
But my heart will write it on the inside of your fingernails
You scratch me I like it
You scrape off my old rusty shell
Can you tell
Do I look like an artist with concentration,
Each stroke so much thought
Well I’m plagued by my patience
Paint a canvas, then erase it, take a shot
Until I’m no longer aching and my mind is a vacant littered lot
I tune in to the station that broadcasts from my brain, its our song
And my heart will write it on the inside of your fingernails
You scratch me I like it
You scrape off my old rusty shell
Can you tell
Does it seem like I’m needy
You crashed on my shore, you sunk deep
Well I’m sorry, that's on me
I was hoping to have some company
And if I feel a little scary
Take my boat, you float off, leave me be
Thats right leave me, take it easy
I’ll compose, build my home of poetry
And my heart will write it all
Until it's under your pink fingernails
You scratch me I love it
You scrape off my old rusty shell
Can you tell
