straining Lyrics

On the first day of spring

Bury me with all your doll parts

For rehab down in a hole

To shame with the burden of the lust

Of my ungrateful twin

The ugly side of me

So here's a thank you

For the glance you gave me

The snub that followed

A point you concluded

I'll follow you as an idol

If I had nothing on my back

If not for ugly, the ugly in me somewhere

The best is yet to come

So let me linger

To sharpen the thorn in my side

I punish myself for a slate new day

After darkness leaves me stripped

It might not quite be the way out

But under celebrity skin as my cover

I might get some leniency

I'll tear under the warning sirens

On a bed of roses

I conduct myself to crawl when you're around

With the thorn thrust to my side

Until you hear me

So let me slide over

To watch you

Witness the wind of change

Watch you breath in my face

There's nothing better for me in life

Than to make me better for you

Sometimes I won't let myself be

I need the inspiration to ask you

To serve you better

A one-question survey

Before I fade

If not touched by you

Was your love custom-made

A hybrid of fear & want
