Inside Out

(Chorus)

I would swallow my pride,

I would choke on the rhines,

but the lack thereof

would leave me empty inside.

I would swallow my doubt,

turn it inside out,

find nothing but faith

in nothing.

I want to put my tender

heart in a blender,

watch it spin around

to a beautiful oblivion.

Rendezvous

then I'm through with you.

I burn burn

like a wicker cabinet,

chalk white

and oh so frail.

I see our time

has gotten stale.

The tick tock

of the clock is painful,

so sane and logical.

I want to tear it

off the wall.

I hear words

and clips and phrases.

I think sick

like ginger ale.

My stomach turns

and I exhale.

[Chorus]

So Cal is where

my mind states,

but it's not my

state of mind.

I'm not as

ugly sad as you.

Or am I origami?

Folded up and

just pretend.

Demented as

the motives in your head.

[Chorus]

I alone

am the one you don't

know you need.

Take heed.

Feed your ego.

Make me blind

when your eyes close sink.

When you get close,

tie me to the bedpost.

I alone

am the one you don't

know you need.

You don't know

you need me.

Make me blind

when your eyes close.

Tie me to the bedpost!

[Chorus]

Now I'm through,

with you.

Through with you!

Rendezvous,

then I'm through with you.
