Existing, slowly, body’s tryna kill me,
Draining me of my blood and sanity,
What do I do now?
How do I get out?
This town makes me feel like scratching my own eyeballs out.
I cover my walls with post it notes,
Reminding me to take a walk,
And not loose my fucking mind,
This happens all the time,
Make yourself a brew I’m sure its gonna turn out fine.
But no-one can tell me that I didn’t try,
I’ve been working real hard from the inside.
Don’t really know what you’re running from baby,
You got the world in your hands,
That’s what they say when I sing them a song,
And can I be in your band?
Give me a war of pain or of pleasure,
But I also need peace,
What kind of lady will I be today?
I’m the queen of duality.
Mmmmm…
Ohhhh…
My mother says don’t you cry,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.
There’s a strange look in her eyes,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.
Mmmm,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.
Mmmm,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.
Ahhhh…
