lyrics

Note to self:
a wealth of sadness does not transform itself
to a warm gladness even after the rafters
and roofs falling through from too much rain,
from too much rain,
from too much strain,
from fists clenched tight in a mockery of delight.

My wrists are yours to slap or snap or kiss.
I will hear what you have to say about this.
And I will let myself be dragged into your opinion,
and I will crash my plane knowing that it was my decision.

Another note to self:
I am more than a little bit easy to lead around
and maybe I should work on standing my ground,
on standing my ground...
or on landing softer when I fall down.
Because I will fall down.
Or maybe I will never move again.

My neck is yours to break or to walk away from.
I will respond with only a slight hesitation.
And your indifference is my heart's inspiration:
I love the way you stare through me as if I was an apparition.

But I am prickly and defensive and ashamed,
with only a vapid hunger to show that I ever came at all.
And I should work on the way that I fall.
And I should work on the way that I fall.
And I should work on the way that I crawl even though I've two legs to stand on
and you've got nothing but an excuse that is not an acceptable reason.

My wrists are yours to slap or snap or kiss.
The uncertainty of what you will do fills me with bliss.
My neck is yours to break or to walk away from.
How thrilling, this chill running down my spine.
