The Wrong Rhythm
Once the door opened for me
but now I seem to have lost the key
it use to let in my trust
but now all the hinges have started to rust
||: I've been locked out,
I've been locked out :||
The sidewalk started to crack
and soon I'd forgotten my only way back
I stepped over a bug
But he smooshed it down as he gave me a hug
||: I felt it die,
I almost cried for it :||
A worm popped his head out the ground
but his tunnels were nowhere to be found
a bird saw him from the sky
and that foolish worm thought he could hide
but
||: I went along,
I went along with it :||
Then the wind started to blow
all of our thoughts into a tornado
the plants twisted words into weeds
on misunderstanding disaster feeds
||: I'd rather starve,
I'd rather starve with him :||
'Cuz
||: you played my heart,
and you played the wrong rhythm :||
