THE SEAMSTRESS

24 MONTHS IN THE MAKING

I’M OUT THE GATE

SAW THE SIMULATION

AND GOT OUT OF THE RACE

GOT MY HEAD STRAIGHT

STUDIED THE GREATS

TO DROPPED DROP JEWELS

PLANNED MY ESCAPE

AND STARTED BENDING THE RULES

BUT THERE IS NO SPOON

I BEG TO TELL YOU

WHETHER RED OR BLUE

IT’S HELL TO GO THROUGH

I CHOSE TO BE A MARTYR IN THE FABRIC I’M MAKIN

FAKIN’ CAUSE I WANNA A LITTLE TASTE OF THE BACON

SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT SO TIRED OF THE WEAKNESS

MADE MY OWN BED BUT I’M SHEET-LESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS

OH, SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT NO TIME FOR THE WEAKNESS

I GOT STITCHED UP WITH A SWEETNESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS

TOOK A LITTLE TIME FOR ME TO BATTLE MY HEAD

BUT YOU PUT IT ALL TOGETHER LIKE A NEEDLE AND THREAD

I SHOOK THE DUST OFF

BRUSHED OFF AND I READ

AND TOOK A MORAL INVENTORY OF THE THINGS THAT I SAID

APOLOGETIC IN MY RHETORIC AND ALWAYS OBLIGED

I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO BE ONE OF THE GUYS

A LOT OF TROUBLE IN THE MAKING I WAS READY TO RIDE

WITH NO CLUE WHERE I WAS HEADED

BUT FUN AT THE TIME

AND YOU GROW

SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT SO TIRED OF THE WEAKNESS

I MADE MY OWN BED BUT I’M SHEET-LESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS

OH, SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT NO TIME FOR THE WEAKNESS

I GOT STITCHED UP WITH A SWEETNESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS

SHE THE TYPE OF THING TO MAKE YOU FORGET HOW TO ACT

NEVER LET YOU GO AND HIT YOU LIKE A HEART ATTACK

SO SET FREE FEELIN LIKE A LIBERATOR

IN THE HOOD

IN YOUR MANIFOLDS AND CARBURETORS

SO, I’M SNOWED IN

NO, I’M NEVER LEAVIN

SO DON’T GO THEN

CAUSE YOU’LL HAVE ME FREEZING

SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT SO TIRED THE WEAKNESS

I MADE MY OWN BED BUT I'M SHEET-LESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS

OH, SO COLD AND ALONE

HOLDIN ON TO THE PIECES

I GOT NO TIME FOR THE WEAKNESS

I GOT STITCHED UP WITH A SWEETNESS

AND I REALLY NEED THIS

THAT’S WHY I MADE OUT WITH A SEAMSTRESS
