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