"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.
I just want affection. I'm sorry I'm such an inconvenience but is that really so much to ask for?
tear me to shreds
I'm sick of this mad, mad world
make me someone's bride and count to ten
then blow my head out at the alter
I'm sick of this mad, mad world
I'm sick of the people
I'm sick of the doctors
I'm sick of YOU telling ME what's wrong with MY head
when it's MY head and NOT YOURS
make me into someone's dinner and say a prayer
tear me to shreds
I don't care
I wish I felt connected to these people that I’ve known all my life but I don’t
