lyrics

I was just dealt a wound that left a welt in
My soul and side
Everything that mattered once has all shattered
Dissatisfied
Now I need refreshin'
Like a first impression, I've hit the wall
But I make no melodrama
I'm enough nirvana so's not to crawl

But don't you point a finger if I come across
Like a deadbeat lover who's cut his loss
Check yourself for bleeding
Make sure you weren't feeding off me

Everybody lined up so you made your mind up
To take the plunge
But why am I included?
I'm so much better suited to one-on-ones
I'm with you in spirit
Cancel my apearance
I love you all
But my body gets busy and pretense makes me dizzy with protocol

And I'm a little different
You know it's true
It's always been what's separated me from you
Write when we feel reveal and we'll peel the layers
Of prayers
From ours
And theirs

I'm clearing out my closets
Yesterday's deposits are about to spill
So it's off to fresh kills island to keep it all from piling up
Against my will
Now, I hope that you will not take my renewal
Too personal
This really ain't about you
I don't aim to doubt you at all, in all

But I could drop a thousand dollars down a well
And wait like a fool for some chump to tell
So why not just let go before you go retro on me
Upon me
You warned me
You want me
