lyrics

How dare you?
Tell me not to smile?
If the very idea of joy offends you, then stay and retch awhile
I can show you my pain – I can feed you my fear – until it’s hard to breathe
My litany of mistakes – does it make you salivate?
You make me want to toll this bell until it cracks
Liberating me, from your selfish need, to share my lack of faith

Not this time – Not this me – Not this time

And I don’t just say the wrong things – I tend to scream them from the top of my lungs
Must I spew hate to convince you, that we’re all free to be bleeding need
Here: solace for the seeker – turn it up and come alive, come alive
I’m just a fellow traveler – in this tunnel at the end of the light

Regrets
I’ve had a few too many in this life of crime
There’s no need to overstate the obvious – but I ain’t feelin’ fine
As a matter of fact – I ain’t feelin’ this room, I ain’t feeling much at all
Why presume to love – you’d all much rather push and shove
Why bother to share how numb we’ve become?
Comfortably glum – Come and feel up my pain
I can no longer reap this bitter harvest so I’m going against the grain.

And I don’t just say the wrong things – I tend to scream them from the top of my lungs
Must I spew hate to convince you, that we’re all free to be bleeding need
Here: solace for the seeker – turn it up and come alive, come alive
I’m just your fellow traveler – in this tunnel at the end of the light
