A Cold War was stirring in the corner
Long before my first carnal display
Quiet and crazed faith guiding how I explore
Followed too closely
Now nothing gets me off
Like given in slowly
To thinking I know is flawed
An encore rehearsed before the curtain
A dull sword drawn toward the balcony
Recitative strained to reach its highest form
Demon or Angel
Now Nothing gets me off
Like being ungrateful
For internal dialogue
I just need place my brain can anchor
An answer that can’t change
I could write it down
Recite it til it helps
Ya know the most important things your told are what you tell yourself
I could make a plan
That’ll make it stop
And be free of premeditated afterthought
I love that idea
Wish that ideas helped
Ya know the most important things your told are what you tell yourself
