Customary Lyrics - Jandek

As a matter of fact 

It's the way that you act 

It's a matter of (ways?) 

It's customary 

It was the real (pie?) 

I got it all in my eye 

She told me she wanted to hold me 

I laughed to my self 

It's all on the shelf 

It burns and 

It eats the ones and I choke it 

??? 

I won't be altered
