about
This is what my crazy sounds like.
lyrics
Sometimes I want to break your neck.
Sometimes I want to lick your ear.
Sometimes I let the warm pain go.
But sometimes I let it go on for a year.
Hold me down and my feelings grow stronger
Let me go and I die.
Smack me once I bleed forever
Smack me twice I
Smile.
Like blue orchids I’m frail
But I’m always brilliant
I live strong but It’s a long, slow, tiring journey
To the dry, shriveled place we all call
Death
HA HA!
And….Sometimes I want to hold on to your warm
Sweet moist memory and
Dream a little wet dream of you.
And then crash into the powdery, billowing, protruding…..
Whatever.
Sometimes I want to juggle your testosterone in little jars of fireflies
Just to see if the light changes
Green has never really been your color but it doesn’t really matter because
I’ve always been the fat one.
And we would really rather not see THEM now would we?
Can’t stop looking, can you?
Sometimes I want to contradict your every move
And sometimes I just want to go along for the ride
And in the end, it doesn’t matter because you’ll never know what I’m feeling
Way down deep inside
And I’ve really never been this verbose
You just hang on to all the big words in order to figure me out
When it’s the little ones you have to pay attention to.
If. And. Or. But.
Sometimes I want to break your neck.
Sometimes I want to lick your ear.
Sometimes I let the warm pain go
But sometimes I’d rather drown in my fear.
And I think I’m going crazy….
*sigh* well…..anyway.
Here I go again……
Sometimes I want to lick your ear.
Sometimes I let the warm pain go.
But sometimes I let it go on for a year.
Hold me down and my feelings grow stronger
Let me go and I die.
Smack me once I bleed forever
Smack me twice I
Smile.
Like blue orchids I’m frail
But I’m always brilliant
I live strong but It’s a long, slow, tiring journey
To the dry, shriveled place we all call
Death
HA HA!
And….Sometimes I want to hold on to your warm
Sweet moist memory and
Dream a little wet dream of you.
And then crash into the powdery, billowing, protruding…..
Whatever.
Sometimes I want to juggle your testosterone in little jars of fireflies
Just to see if the light changes
Green has never really been your color but it doesn’t really matter because
I’ve always been the fat one.
And we would really rather not see THEM now would we?
Can’t stop looking, can you?
Sometimes I want to contradict your every move
And sometimes I just want to go along for the ride
And in the end, it doesn’t matter because you’ll never know what I’m feeling
