misplacement

I got my ears lowered the other day
And woke up with visions of my scalp
Heard my heart beat through my ribs
And smelt a thief from an empty gut
Plotting a cowardly getaway to a dark alley
Like a trapped rat we squeeze into tiny holes
Shelter inside of hollow walls
Exploring abandoned houses
Man without a mission
Girl without competition
An easy catch with no bait
