You hold me inside your iris
  like a terminal stain on life
  You condescend to my primal brain
  and twist me around like a knife
  Can't begin to explain
  The feelings I have restrained
  Don't ask me how I am
  Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
  Let me tell you
    DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
  Who has STAYED - just to say
  They never left me!
  Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
  God, I never learn...
    You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
  an audible human display
  You feed me orchids to give me courage
  and keep me in line with disdain
    Can't begin to explain
  The feelings I have restrained
  Don't ask me how I am
  Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
  Let me tell you
    DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
  Who has STAYED - just to say
  They never left me!
  Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
  God, I never learn:
    I have nothing left for you...
  you left me with nothing
    I live at arm's length and die a little,
  between your constants by day
  I want my soul back before it's over,
  I can't even wish you away
    Can't begin to explain
  The feelings I have restrained
  Don't ask me how I am
  Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
  Let me tell you
    DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
  Who has STAYED - just to say
  They never left me!
  Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
  God, I never learn:
    I NEVER LEARN!!
