Canary
There's a TV in every room except for mine
Fake flowers and trays of medicine
Nobody ever leaves here unless they die
Rusty wrinkled bodies and rotting minds
The old people babble incessantly
With their endlessly monosyllabic refrains
The problems they have can be avoided
But one larger problem still remains
(Chorus)
You're outliving your teeth(2x)
Chewing mushy turkey
You're outliving your teeth(2x)
I'm just here so the ones who still can see can see me
I don't do a thing and maybe they identify with me
They too are locked up and eat what they are fed
Veins and sagging skin and brain activity clinging by a thread
(Chorus)
Fake flowers and trays of medicine
Nobody ever leaves here unless they die
Rusty wrinkled bodies and rotting minds
The old people babble incessantly
With their endlessly monosyllabic refrains
The problems they have can be avoided
But one larger problem still remains
(Chorus)
You're outliving your teeth(2x)
Chewing mushy turkey
You're outliving your teeth(2x)
I'm just here so the ones who still can see can see me
I don't do a thing and maybe they identify with me
They too are locked up and eat what they are fed
Veins and sagging skin and brain activity clinging by a thread
(Chorus)
