Disillusion and the Fanatics
I don't want to feel so heavy right now
but I do
And I want to tell you, to tell you my thoughts, but I might
I might scare you away.
And I will.
you will, you will leave, but please not now, but soon because thats how it should be
I shouldn't notice these things
but I do
I don't want to feel so heavy right now
I'm sorry I do things I shouldn't
I don't sing and when I do lets pretend that I don't
I scratch, claw and gnash my teeth but you should expect that
its just called passion
and sometimes I just really don't care and I wish I did
but I don't.
and is it okay?
is it okay with you?
if I'm a little distant?
stop telling me that I should put it down
put it down
put it down
put it down
I've lost it, don't you see? I've lost whatever it is you want me to put down
And I'm trying
I am trying to be sorry.
I shouldn't be so down
but I am
And she'd say its selfish, I'd say its selfish and so would you.
its just today thats got me so down
I feel so down--thats not a creative excuse but I'm not the creative type so don't force me
dont force me to think of anything better
And I can hear you, I can hear you in your confidence and tiny whispers with people, people who go by the vague name of "My friends",
and its all about me.
and I really
really
really
don't want it to be, because I know.
I know better.
I want to keep you in a picture frame, I want to make you an idealized, romanticized flowery prose on paper
and you'll always be just as you are now, you'll always be this way.
Today
I want to be exactly within the shuffle in my head, but here, I also want to be here, while you are
just as you are
and I am.
I am.
I am.
tell me, I am.
