about

About how people can be overwhelming to the point that you can’t deal with them, and that’s just the way it is.. then a song about being fat and feeling that it’s the end of everything useful about yourself.

lyrics

You have every intention of
Causing a storm in a teacup
You will, you will, you will, you will
Always do that
But it started when you were a baby
You never knew you could, you could, you could, you could
Be so misguided
You and I nothing to discuss
You walk away and we go straight out of here
no need for apologies
no need for words at all
you have filled my heart, and I am tired

My body is a mess
my body is a sign that
I am past my best
I am past fighting
I just want to curl up
And grow old with a brain that
Can make me say things
Can make me feel more brave than
As time slips on
My body is a stage
Being acted on
Directed by someone.
