Taking Inventory

from Taking Inventory by Jim Dusty

lyrics

a testament to the mundane a two bedroom flat and a five seater van in my name
a body tall awkward and strange a bend in my back a head hung in perpetual shame
a collection of records and second hand books my father’s impatience and humour and my mother’s looks
 a dull sense of purpose a scar on my knee a constant sensation of crippling inadequacy
this is what I have to show my harvest from 25 years on this earth lost in the throes and all that is left in my mind are fragments of thoughts so I’m taking inventory to find what I’ve lost inside me
the illusion of control is warped as it circles the mouth of a giant black hole
a closet of broken guitars lay haunted by ghosts of ambition that have long since passed
a lump in my throat and a mouth full of dirt delusions of good health and a penchant to poke where it hurts
a rumbling hunger to be something more that raps on my windows and drags its nails down my door
