Hey, I'm not paranoid, but everyone is saying What they mean to say out loud, at least inside of their head I felt so good about it, now, I feel shit about it I cannot parse the time to swallow my age, yeah I wanna feel the wrong direction I think you know how I work Honestly, who cares about perception or perceiving If it's you and all your demons, well, they love you the most I like to give 'em first-aid, they call me Michael H We're at the top of baby's neighborhood watch, hey I'd like to hear you say you're better Or, better yet, you don't know I'm in an awkward state, alone, but ready to roll Everyone will tell you But they don't know how I don't wanna tell you 'Cause I don't know how You read your book as they undress you with their eyes It's like you hardly were of notice 'til you showed them some thigh It's not on you, it's on them. I cannot say I love 'em I know we're people, but we're rotten inside, 'til they die I wanna go the wrong direction with you I wanna feel right inside There's not a lot of good discretion, so, why would I lie? Everyone will tell you But they don't know how I don't wanna tell you 'Cause I don't know How long we're staying under How far down does it go? When everyone will tell you But they don't know how I don't wanna tell you 'Cause I don't know how I don't wanna say it, 'cause I might wake up Sleepin' under memories of your once-bad-luck Drinkin' from the soul of your virgin self You had lots of questions meant for someone else You dove I wanna live inside your memory I wanna steal all I want I wanna take advantage of you How long were you undercover? How far out will he go now? Everyone will tell you But they don't know how I don't wanna tell you how I can't compel you now It's only me and all the voices Meaning in the message, but it reads like shit I can't be myself if I am drowned in it There's another person that for sure commits I'd rather be the loner with a balled-up fist Middle of a life, at least I hope that's it Love's a lonely answer, they're not buyin' it You don't have to soften up to save that kid But sure as Hell could teach him that they're already here And that's enough for us And that's enough for us
