You hold me inside your iris
Like a terminal stain on life
You condescend to my primal brain
And twist me around like a knife
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

Dont - try to be the one - person
Who has stayed - just to say
They never left me! [bad word]  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
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

Dont - try to be the one - person
Who has stayed - just to say
They never left me! [bad word]  someone say it
God, I never learn

I have nothing left for you
You left me with nothing
I live at arms length and die a little,
Between your constants by day
I want my soul back before its over,
I cant even wish you away
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

Dont - try to be the one - person
Who has stayed - just to say
They never left me! [bad word]  someone say it
God, I never learn
I never learn!!
