lyrics

In walks the man looking awfully thin, along with the woman he raised four boys with and his dog. He walks in circles circling the ache in his heart harboring horrible tipping points that tripped up the course of new starts.

A wounded leg tormented him and twisted his turn and basically at all corners the injury just returns. And above all. Theodore knew. He thought it through. He thought that if...if he just changed his name it would kill the shame. But death and disappearing are not the same.

Theodore Hinkley went by "Think" for short from shame. "And all of the beautiful colors of the new name will remain. And on and on these beautiful colors will live on and on!!!"

In walks the man with his new name. Oh, he can’t shake the shivers. No he can’t shake the shivers, it seems. There’s a limp in his step. And a lump in his soul, so he thinks it is illogical to wear these damn shoes anymore. A shorter life tormented him and twisted his thoughts he'd scribble in his journal kept in his coat over of his heart. And above all. He’s all alone. And on all fours. He hangs his head down. Down he heads. hung by his history. Arose from any name still smells of defeat.

He will remain at the top of the mountain top screaming his name. It’s a shame.
