Listener What Would You Do If I'm Not What I'm Supposed To Be Because I'm Not
I pull the pin off the grenade and toss it gently in
the middle.
Honey let's not kid ourselves, that's the devil with
his fiddle.
He's playing our song again, and it's starting to rub
off.
I clench my teeth to pass the pain, but my jaw is
turning soft.
This eagles eye view is killing it all for me.
You've got full access to the heart, but all you do is
break the key.
You might be model, but are you willing to play your
role.
Buried deep inside that bottle is a window to the soul.
and you have to tell me what it is that's so amazing.
From the outside looking in it doesn't seem worth
saving.
You plea for bargains, mercy, grace, and all the rest,
but I can't seem to give it to you, with this boulder
on my chest.
and I want it gone, but you won't take it anymore.
Here's another string of words I've saved from the
killing floor.
What would you think if I sang out of tune, would you
stand up and walk out on me? What would you do if I'm
not what I'm supposed to be? Lend me your ears and I'll
sing you a song, and I'll try not to sing out of key.
What would you do if I'm not what I'm not what I 'm
supposed to be?
Stress and life get packaged like forks and knives.
One for destroying and another for stabbing insight.
Just a few more miles with this plastic carrot in
sight.
I'm tired of pulling you suckers, but I'll do my job
tonight.
I stretch these old bones and take a good look at my
reflection, but I can't see anything that's really
worth a mention.
Oh, there I am just a speck at the bottom, or more like
a stain waiting to be forgotten.
I'm an empty carcass, a hopeless case with a broken
lock, but I'll be alright my skins thick like a wet
blanket full of rocks.
This is me, a reality, a skinless mess trying to hold
it all together.
Please don't let me be your goal, I'm a rusty car
without leather.
No sunroof, no fancy engine, and no cd.
I'm all hubcaps, am/fm, and it costs extra if it's free
.
I will point at you, I will put you down.
I will disappoint you every time I make these sounds.
So leave now, forget me, save yourself instead.
You are nothing.
Love, the voice inside my head.
