Lyrics

The waiting drove me mad
you're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would rather run but I can't walk...
Guess I'll lie alone just like before...
I'll take the firmest path
oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
this behavior's not unique
I don't want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
I don't want to limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't want to be held in your debt...
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
And I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I began...
Everything has changed
absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture
spilled my tincture
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your breast...
All the things that others want for me...
Can't buy what I want because it's free...
Can't buy what I want because it's free...
Can't be what you want because I'm...
I ain't s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
all alone like I began...
