would not come
alanis morissette
if i make a lot of tinsel then people will want to
if i am hardened no fear of further abandonment
if i am famous then maybe i'll feel good in this skin
if i am cultured my words will somehow garner respect
i would throw a party still it would not come
i would bike run swim and still it would not come
i'd go travelling and still it would not come
i would starve myself and still it would not come
if i'm masculine i will be taken more seriously
if i take a break it would make me irresponsible
if i'm elusive i will surely be sought after often
if i need assistance then i must be incapable
i'd be filthy rich and still
i would seduce them and still
i would drink vodka and still
if i accumulate knowledge
if i am aloof no one will know
if i keep my mouth shut the boat
will not have to be rocked
if i am vulnerable i will be
i would go shopping and still
i'd leave the country and still
i would scream and rebel still
i would stuff my face and still
i'd be productive and still it would not come
i'd be celebrated still it would not come
i'd be the hero and still it would not come
i'd renunciate and still it would not come
