[Verse 1] You hold me inside your iris like a A terminal stain on life You condescend to my primal brain and Twist me around like a knife [Bridge] Cant begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Dont ask me how I am Because youre too busy planning your epitaph [Chorus] Let me tell you Dont try to be the one person Who has stayed just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn [Verse 2] You keep me hidden behind a curtain An audible human display You feed me orchids to give me courage And keep me in line with disdain [Bridge] Cant begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Dont ask me how I am Because youre too busy planning your epitaph [Chorus] Let me tell you Dont try to be the one person Who has stayed just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn [Verse 3] I have nothing left for you You left me with nothing And I have nothing left for you You left me with nothing I live at arms length and die a little Between your constants by day I want my soul back before its over I cant even wish you away [Bridge] Cant begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Dont ask me how I am Because youre too busy planning your epitaph [Chorus] Let me tell you Dont try to be the one person Who has stayed just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn
