Do I freak you out?

It seems that I have freaked you out

I’m just having a long day

I’m having dreams about things I don’t want to dream about

I’m just having a long night

And I’m living a long life

Slow down greatness

Don’t let go

I’m your body and I’m telling you no

Don’t make me hurt you an don’t make me mad

Her clothes, that room, a backyard of bloom, it’s all just way too sad

I’ve had a lot of doubts sneak up on me

Grief never seems to rest

Now watch me take a breath

It seems there’s more birds this year, the chirps are clear

Watch them fear for their lives

Only a few survive

Slow down greatness

Don’t let go

I’m your body and I’m telling you no

Don’t make me hurt you an don’t make me mad

Her clothes, that room, a backyard of bloom, it’s all just way too sad

Now I’m reaching out

I admit now, I can use a bit of help

Feel free to hold my hand

Step on my feet, comb my hair

Hold me down til I bleed out

Slow down greatness

Don’t let go

I’m your body and I’m telling you no
