like a terminal stain on life You condescend to my primal brain and twist me around like a knife Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn... You keep me hidden behind a curtain, an audible human display You feed me orchids to give me courage and keep me in line with disdain Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn: I have nothing left for you... you left me with nothing I live at arm's length and die a little, between your constants by day I want my soul back before it's over, I can't even wish you away Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn: I NEVER LEARN |
