Stimulus-Response Pattern Lyrics

Hey now can you call me maybe

I know I'm a little crazy

But I think you are as well

You hide the cracks but I can tell

I write you this because I need to

Fight with this attachment issue

Feeling like I'm in a cell

Held prisoner to myself

I know I can't make things better

So I sit and write this letter

Hoping that your listening

My fingers they are blistering

From work that comes every which way

I hate my life, I hate this day

I just want to be myself

Fuck everyone, there's nothing else

I think of fire as in connection with emotions

Because when you become stirred up

When your emotions control your actions

It affects not only yourself but the people around you

Psychologists find that control of emotions can be gained by understanding the stimulus-response pattern

Smoking away

All the tears

Smoking away

All the fears

Smoking away

All the tears

Smoking away

All my fears

Watched you leave, it terrified me (oh)

Not the same, I'm scared you'll find me (I can't see you)

Crying on the bathroom floor (I think we're through)

Smoking while I am writing more (It can't be true)

Sappy lyrics to a song (oh)

Or messages to send along (I can't hear you)

A letter you'll receive today (I think we're through)

You better read it all the way (I know it's true)

It speaks of my attachment issues (oh)

And of why I can't be with you (I can't touch you)

There so much you never knew (I think we're through)

It had to be that way, it's true (By god it's true)

If you knew my real opinions (oh)

And my past experiences (I can't kiss you)

Then you would really see (I think it through)

I'm half the man I appear to be (I don't love you)

I can't

Love you

Anymore

I'd love

To see you

But I'm sad far more
