lyrics

do i try to convince you
i don't know what i'm doing
i'm caught in machinery
and i need rescuing
my body's constricted
like a mouth is chewing
on my torso through to my rib cage
losing the battle but i don't want no war

you don't know what it's like
when you're not around
then again how could you
the way your body is bound
to this impenetrable
grey compound
we think of escaping but it seems irrational
like winning a battle when the war lost

oohh i miss the lengthy phase
oohh when fighting was just a phrase
oohh i've been meaning to find out the way my words can ricochet

i got a friend who
wonders if she's pretty
i say why not bring this
to a committee
where they deliberate
the data analytically
and if they got extra time i'd like to ask them too
get an assessment without seeming like i care

oohh i miss the lengthy phase
oohh when fighting was just a phrase
oohh i've been meaning to find out the way my words can ricochet

i don't know if you or i
want to hear this
but there isn't always
a way to be fearless
and when our bodies
begin to betray us
we can look closely at a mirror
trace our fingers over the battle scars
