The Recluse

I think she came over to feel worth

More than a body in the ground

Poured her a drink to calm her nerves

But this Earth had broken her spirits down

Said, hang around, let down your hair

And talked about the others that were buried there

We danced and took a moonlight stroll

But that's when I wanted to be alone

So I took off the coat

Went home and kept working on my vest

She had secrets she wanted to get off her chest

I'll take the burden if you need

And I'll spill my guts if you follow my lead

'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin

But I think I like the one that you're living in

So I'll cut to the chase: Just don't try to leave

Cos these hands are stronger than you were led to believe

It's always a drag to be on the fence

About who you are and its consequence

But God knows I'll do what I need

That's why the Devil came and sold his fucking soul to me

'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin

But I think I like the one that you're living in

So I'll cut to the chase: Just don't try to leave

'Cause these hands, these hands

Are stronger than you were led to believe

And I was afraid that the neighbors would hear her cries

But I wasn't made to feel anything that's mine
