i can't think straight
i can't feel straight
wait
don't operate
i don't know what i might say
way too many words
are all the same these days
and i don't want to be
just like everybody else
so give me alittle time
to myself, my little self
as i'm shrinking away
to the corner of the stone
i examine
rings of this tree
wait
don't cut me off
i don't know what you might say
you dont know where i
am going with this speech
and the punch line wont be
just like everybody else
so give me alittle time
to myself, my little self
as i'm shrinking away
but like nobody else
i won't betray you
no, i never did
its one thing i'm sure of
and i know why
you're afraid
i do sympathize
while it seems i don't mind
heres one thing i'm sure of
cold by shaping,
not design
cold by shaping,
not design
cold and shaking
commence pain
like it needs a command these days
this life
have i gotten far enough yet,
that they
could name this kinda strife after me
so i can
retire
so give me alittle time
to myself, my little self
as i'm shrinking away
to straighten out this old stone
you can stay on
you can let go
wait
don't walk away
i don't know what i might do
way too many fools
are all the same these days
i can't stand you being
just like everybody else
i can't think straight
i can't feel straight
wait
don't operate
i don't know what i might say
way too many words
are all the same these days
or some time soon i'll be
shaped like everybody else
so i need alittle time
to myself, my little self
as i'm shrinking away
to the corner of this stone
