self repair

your view was an understatement

you're just a kid in a family basement

dirty tricks up your clean white sleeves

30 years till you knew what color you'd bleed

didn't know what to do

you don't

you don't

you don't

i didn't know what to do

you don't

you don't

you don't

you look like you're feeling clever

innate cover up behavior

run fast from the small detail

and move past the ones that make you feel

i know you think it's insane

you're ok with everything

you're lying and nothing about you is safe

it's hard to say when you're not

it's ok we've all been caught crying

it's ok to be up front

for sure you didn't know my story

self repair is mostly boring

something's wrong and i want to fight

30 years and now i know i wasn't right

didn't know what to do

you don't

you don't

you don't

i still don't know what to do

you don't

you don't

you don't

i know you think it's insane

you're ok with everything

you're lying and nothing about you is safe

it's hard to say when you're not

it's ok we've all been caught crying

it's ok to be up front

but hey why so mad?

if you say these things to me

that's fine

but the rest of them

they'll take you alive if they want

you don't understand

you don't know not anything

and i've loved more than you have breathed

and you can't quantify a single thing

i know you think it's insane

you're ok with everything

you're lying and nothing about you is safe

it's hard to say when you're not

it's ok we've all been caught crying

it's ok to be up front

it's ok we've all been caught

ok to be upfront
