I'm gonna speak my mind
Don't care whose toes I step on
And if that's alright
We'll live and let live and just carry on
Do you speak my language?
Coming from this place of anguish
I'm raging
When you're not engaging with the world outside your own
Talking about my freedom
My freedom of expression
But I'm getting the impression
You're competing with oppression
And it's so convenient
The way you're chiming in
You're not a man but you're mansplaining
I'm gonna speak my mind
Don't care whose toes I step on
And if that's alright
We'll live and let live and just carry on
Do you speak my language?
Coming from this place of anguish
I'm raging
When you're not engaging with the world outside your own

Hide Me
03:04
|
|

|
I've got a dirty little secret
And I don't trust anyone to keep it safe
What will you think of me?
It's so embarrassing
My heart is the same
Cuz it wants what it wants
With no regard for consequences
My desires are circumvented
I'm keeping them in boxes
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way
Weigh up the pros and cons of telling everyone
And I'll kiss your mouth
To stop the words from coming out
It's not allowed
It's not allowed
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way
This way
I'll be keeping you from harm if
If I keep you in the dark
It must not be important
You're thinking nothing of it
When there's monsters in the closet
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way
Hide me
Hide me away
Don't ever let it see the light of day
And you'll say it's easier this way

I'm not stupid
I know what this is
Practice
I'm not stupid
I know what this is
Practice
And you're assuming
I know what I'm doing
I must look like the type, I look like a whore
Horses don't get taken for a ride more than this
Are you taking the piss?
Yeah, I know what this is
No, I'm not your practice girl
I'm not about to show you how this works
So don't ask me honey
No, I'm not your practice girl
You're not allowed to try this on me
I'm not stupid
I know what this is
Practice
And you're assuming
That I'm consenting, but
You're not even my friend
I'm offended
Did you leave your white lab coat at home?
Are you a scientist obsessed with your latest experiments?
My body is not a body of work for you to figure out
Or master
You're such a selfish bastard
No, I'm not your practice girl
I'm not about to show you how this works
So don't ask me honey
No, I'm not your practice girl
You're not allowed to try this on me
Less about frigidness
More about ownership
I'm sick of these practices
Less about frigidness
More about ownership
I'm sick of these practices
More about openness
Less about taking advantages
Cuz I know what this is
I'm not stupid
I know what this is

The Cat

Hey stranger, what's your name?
It's really nice to meet you, see you again
Hey lover, what's your game?
Might I say your angle is mighty insane
I'm stuck inside all the time in my mind
A penny for my thoughts
Sick and tired of this life
Even more exciting when you're out of sorts
The cat has got your tongue now
Its claws so deep inside
Letting blood fill your mouth
You can't say you ever tried
So darling, tell me true
Tell me of the privilege of being you
At least the stranger I met before
Doesn't see seeing me as a chore
You're stuck inside all the time in your mind
The penny never drops
You're sick and tired of this life
Patiently waiting for the moment it stops
The cat has got your tongue now
Its claws so deep inside
Letting blood fill your mouth
You can't say you ever tried
No, you can't say that you were alone
When I tried a hundred times to see you at home
No, you can't say that I didn't care
I've been here from the start so don't you dare
I'm stuck inside in this vice, so enticed
Playing the role of friend
But you and I think alike
Patiently waiting for the moment this ends
The cat has got your tongue now
Its claws so deep inside
Letting blood fill your mouth
You can't say you ever tried

I'm not human
I'm just an idea
Am I even here?
Am I even here anymore?
I'll play it this way
So that my wrist strains
Oh I feel it
Yeah at least I can feel something
I just want you to be sure
I just want you to be sure
I just want you to be

I Made It Weird
04:03
|
|
||
|
I'm about to feel uncomfortable
Because I want to tell you all
I made it weird
You've got no idea
It seems to me that it all looks pretty clear
That I made it weird
I can't stand the conflict
A difference of opinion might inflict
Cuz no one knows where things sit
And it's possible that the pedestal that I thought you sat upon
Went and got kicked
I made it weird
You've got no idea
It seems to me that it all looks pretty clear
That I made it weird
Defence mechanisms
Operating on a level that I can't see
That I can't see
But by that point it's too late
And I've already said what I've got to say
Even if it wasn't what I mean
I made it weird
You've got no idea
It seems to me that it all looks pretty clear
That I made it weird
See, I'm a fence-sitter and a self-saboteur
I try to get better but I just do it more
Defence mechanisms working against my friends
But I don't want to lose another again
It's already over before it begins
My skin is too thick for anything to get in
I want to be better, I'm really trying
Cuz if there's a next time
That could just be it for me
I made it weird
You've got no idea
It seems to me that it all looks pretty clear
That I made it weird
It's not the first and only time
It's not the first and only time
That this has happened in my life
It's not the first and only time
It's not the first and only time
I made it weird
You've got no idea
It seems to me that it all looks pretty clear
That I made it weird

Pins and Needles

I feel it coming on again
It starts in my fingertips and runs right through into my head
Tell me
Have you ever felt it in your nose?
Cuz I'll tell you something for free
That no one else knows
Pins and needles
I feel them coming on again
It starts in my fingertips and runs right through to my head
Tell me have you ever felt them in your eyes?
Cuz I have
I have
Pins and needles
I feel it coming on again
It starts in my fingertips and runs right into my head
I can track them through my arms
Left to right, every time
I feel them coming on again
Pins and needles
