I went into the backyard and did this thing.

Lyrics:

Hey,
steady now
I didn't even get to tell you who, why or how

Look,
steady hands
proof I am an honest man

So much
rat's milk
we drink

Fly honey
wasp wax
weak link

Forever wed
to the huge wheel

I never dread
what I can't feel

Your heart
is one mouth full
Fidelity the evening's only goal

Your reach
exceeds my grasp
chasmic, ever growing gap

Forever wed
to the huge wheel

I only dread
what I can feel

Change,
not the biggest fan of change

I'm not the biggest fan of change

Forever wed
to the huge wheel
I never dread
what I can't feel
