Corduroy


The waiting drove me mad. You’re finally here and I’m a mess.
I take your entrance back. Can’t let you roam inside my head.

I don’t want to take what you can give.
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run but I can’t walk.
Guess I lie alone just like before.

I’ll take the varmints path. Oh, and I must refuse your test.
A-push me and I will resist. This behavior’s not unique.

I don’t want to hear from those who know.
They can buy but can’t put on my clothes.
I don’t want to wait for them to walk.
Never would have known of me before.

I don’t want to be held in your debt.
I’ll pay it off in blood let I be wed.
I’m already cut up and half dead.
I’ll end up alone like I began. Yea…

Everything has chains. Absolutely nothing’s changed.
"Take my hand, not my picture." Spilled my teacher.

I don’t want to take what you can give.
I would rather starve than eat your breast.
All the things that others want for me.
Can’t buy what I want because it’s free. (x2)
Can’t be what you want because I…

Why ain’t it susposed to be just fun?
Oh, to live and die let it be done.
I figure I’ll be damned. All alone like I began.

It’s your move now. I thought you were a friend but I guess, I… I guess I hate you.
