I'll push people away and then say I'm lonely, I'll say I have no friends and then call us all squaddies - Running from the fire I tended to, I'll leap into your arms Though I know you'll burn me to the ground and then you'll raise the alarms - I'll accuse you of being mysterious While building up my own walls I'll try to break yours down And collect the bricks before they fall - I'll make my own misery I'll burn my own boats, Then complain about not being able to stay afloat - Alienated in my own body Lost in my own soul Foreign in my own head, Down a perpetual rabbit hole

Paradox
I'll push people away and then say I'm lonely, I'll say I have no friends and then call us all squaddies - Running from the fire I tended to, I'll leap into your arms Though I know you'll burn me to the ground and then you'll raise the alarms - I'll accuse you of being mysterious While building up my own walls I'll try to break yours down And collect the bricks before they fall - I'll make my own misery I'll burn my own boats, Then complain about not being able to stay afloat - Alienated in my own body Lost in my own soul Foreign in my own head, Down a perpetual rabbit hole
Paradoxes don't sit well with me, and yet I create them for myself. © Copyright
