Oh me oh my
Get out of your 1950's fantasy,
You face shines with misery transparently,
Spew out that sobering half-assed victim rhetoric,
Make 'em all squirm while they chew on it.
It's a secret handshake and a passing wink of the eye,
As the witches bridge club weekly meets to pen the tail on the sly.
BUT THEY NEVER ASK "WHY oh WHY oh WHY"
"DONT WE RAISE OUR VOICES TO THE SKY?"
Instead you're mute and fawn,
Just waiting to die,
Like some kind of hopeless housewife,
BUT YOU CAN
C H A N G E
W H I L E
Y O U ' R E
A L I V E
And let 'em all know at least you tried,
To kill the demons inside.

Oh me oh my
Damn your transcendental paralysis,
We can work together and make sense of this,
Dont be so sure you can chuck it all away,
You've got to proceed no matter how bad you want to stay.
It's a natural cause and a comfort zone there in your head,
And the world turns away as you tap the snooze button in bed,
BUT NOBODY CAN HEAR A WORD YOU SAID,
YOUR HISTORY WAS NEVER READ,
Instead you're mute and fawn,
Just waiting to die,
Like some kind of hopeless housewife,
BUT YOU CAN
C H A N G E
W H I L E
Y O U ' R E
A L I V E
And let 'em all know at least you tried,
To kill the demons inside.

LOVE IS GOD, LOVE IS WAR, LOVE IS WHAT YOUR LIFE IS FOR.
