I wish I knew the

Right thing to do but

When survival is all

You ever knew it can be

Hard to trust your inner

World of emotions

I just don't know

I just don't know

Which way to go

My mind says left, my heart says right

I just don't know

I just don't know

If I can even trust

This intuition screaming inside

I walk a fine line

Of falling on

Old defenses without

Knowing, while being

Naive to being used by

Those with bad intentions

And I just don't know

I just don't know

Which way to go

My mind says left, my heart says right

So, I just don't know

I just don't know

If I can even trust

The instinct that has got my heart on fire

Not the Girl with the Balloon

Nervous system shot

All I own is debt

Little sister gone

All my friends are dead

Chest tight

Body

Trembling

Palms sweating

World is spinning

Tunnel vision

Walking in holes

Falling in and out

Can’t feel myself

The body does not

Feel it belongs to me

Something is dividing inside

Something is dying in my mind

I am not the girl

With the balloon

I am the thing its

Containing

Nervous system shot

All I own is debt

Little sister gone

All my friends are dead

Falling in and out

Can’t feel myself

The body does not

Feel it belongs to me

Chest tight

Body

Trembling

Palms sweating

World is spinning

Tunnel vision

Walking in holes

Here Now

You keep looking

You keep looking

You keep on looking my way

Is there something

Is there something

You got something you wanna say

I don’t have time for games

I’m not trying to read your brain

Don’t want unless you’re gonna take

Otherwise get your eyes off of me

I am here now

You are here now

And I’m not interested in the hunt

You know deep down

I know deep down

So come and take what you want

You’re getting closer

Getting closer

Moving in closer to me

But will you get down

Will you get down

Can you get down or are you too afraid

I don’t have time for games

I’m not trying to read your brain

Don’t want unless you’re gonna take

Otherwise get your eyes off of me

I am here now

You are here now

And I’m not interested in the hunt

You know deep down

I know deep down

So come and take what you want

There is a tempting fate

Flying out the gate

And a hunger that

You cannot sate

The logs are jammed

When you cannot wait

Oh, it's a far, far cry

From tempting fate

Just more

Smoke and mirrors

In the dark

A chain of events

Linked by

Missing the mark

Mmmm, it's the subliminal messages

That's concerning

When there are pictures

Of heretics burning

In a man-made hell

Of inquisitorial learning

There are no ifs, ands, buts

When so discerning

Just more

Smoke and mirrors

In the dark

A chain of events

Linked by

Missing the mark

And the souls we bear

Are they still there

The souls we bear

Are they still there

You've got to learn to beg before you crawl

You've got to learn to beg before you crawl

You've got to learn to beg before you crawl

You've got to learn to beg before you crawl

Hate Machines

Just because something hurts

Don’t mean it needs a name to blame

Cause you’re only gonna put it on yourself

At the end of the day

We all hate

Someone more than anyone else

We all despise ourselves

Giving that judge inside

Exactly what it needs

To keep playing on your guilt

And self-pity

We all hate

Someone more than anyone else

We all despise ourselves

Since we were

Old enough to understand

We have been taught to be

Anything other than ourselves

We all hate

Someone more than anyone else

We all despise ourselves

I have had my share of toxic lovers

Enough to know

That when the eggs fall

It's time to go

Because the sticky on your feet

Will be my doing

And the shells will forever

Have me tiptoeing

I have had my share of toxic lovers

Enough to know

That when the eggs fall

It's time to go

I have had my share of toxic lovers

Enough to know

That when the eggs fall

It's time to go

It's time to go

My mind Infinitely

Analyzing

That thing you said

The face you made

The tone you said it in

I find all the hidden

Meaning

You think you are slick

And it's exhausting

Mentally frazzling

Anxiety-inducing

Indecision ruling

And as if that's not

Enough

There are the what-ifs

I've thought them all out

Lived every version

Of it on a mental train

It's enough to drive

Anyone insane

But it's exhausting

Mentally frazzling

Anxiety-inducing

Indecision ruling

Perfectionism

Equalling

Mountains of self-criticism

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Overthinkin'

Keeping me from

Living

We find ourselves taking sides


Across a line no one drew


It all depends on how you look


Taking in this other point of view

By the light of the stars we barely shone


Bearing the weight of our cross


For each sin we commit and confess


Tallies with the ones we accost

In the scheme of things are laws to obey 


And working your fingers to the bone


All set in place by the ubiquitous "they"

Who maintain the status quo all alone

By the light of the stars we barely shone


Bearing the weight of our cross


For each sin we commit and confess


Tallies with the ones we accost

They wish

To drain

The milk of

Human kindness, they say

Our will

Be done

But I insist


You stop writing it all down

By the light of the stars we barely shone


Bearing the weight of our cross


For each sin we commit and confess


Tallies with the ones we accost

Her legs

Up to here

Her lips

Give yo momma

A heart attack

Her voice

Makes things move

And her walk

Makes you forget how to talk

Oh

You know better

But

Mmmm her touch

And you're a puppet

Her eyes

They hypnotize

Oh

You know better

You do

But

I want to walk with you

I want to see your shoes

I want to watch your face

When you're concentrating

I want to look in your refrigerator

I want to run my fingers through your hair

I want to see your music collection

Want to rearrange your furniture just for fun

I want to dance with you

Barefoot, standing on your shoes

I want to make funny faces

When you're feeling a little bit anxious

I want to watch you play

I want to veg out with you on a rainy day

I want to see you grin

I want to be your friend

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand
