Pleasure, call me no more,
You do not know my name,
I do not want your warm embrace,
Your burden or your blame,

Desire, letΒ Β me sleep alone,
Don't wake me in the night,
Your taste is resting on my lips,
Your hold on me is tight,

Heartbreak, please, stay sober,
You're scary when you drink,
I need your words of wisdom now,
To tell me what to think,

Balance, I implore you,
Find me in this mess,
Bring me who I know I am,
Alight with happiness.
