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      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!!
