We need to talk.

Though we are bound at the throat
and all my words are choked
even though I gag I must tell you this
when I last tried to find some happiness I found these signs instead
that pointed past my better judgement, and around the way I felt
I was up on crazy-street/took a left on insane avenue
where I lost my bearing/ the very spot that I met you
where doubt, fear and disappointment kissed and birthed your heaviness
YOU corroded me

Chorus:
Beneath me/ I see a deep green sea/whose water could be healing/a needed therapy/
Release my sanity/ wont deliver me/this pain is killing me/
Release my sanity!

We need to talk!

In this world of shadows you around me build/
You twist the facts I twist my acts/
Your rainless clouds nourish this earth like soil on which I toil/
And how I dig to break its surface/going on and round and round/
Now were back on crazy-street/taking lefts on insane avenue/
where I lost my bearing/ the very spot that I met you/
where doubt, fear and disappointment kissed and birthed your heaviness/
YOU CORRODED ME/

Chorus:
Beneath me/ I see a deep green sea/whose water could be healing/a needed therapy/
Release my sanity/this pain is killing me/wont deliver me/
Release my sanity!
