Lampshades covered dark You’re about to witness all my scars As I whisper to myself I will not break I bite my lip to keep from moving them Trying to find a place for these awkward limbs Oh, my thoughts are as frizzy as my hair Without bobby pins So I ask you to leave You got that gaze as blue as the oceans And I'm drinking them in Sipping on that potion that I fear Does tempt me But when you speak to me I fear honesty 'Cause I'm not good at that old feeling For I'm a pillar that will never show it’s seams For I no longer know that woman in I That’s not heavy with burden But air and light As you look at me I fear That you can see my uncomfortable reactions to intimate attractions For I long shamed myself out of my need Oh, turbulent me, forgetting to breathe Steering conversations with grim cogitations For I simply forgot how to just be For I no longer know that woman in I That’s not heavy with burden But air and light For you told me my virtue had run dry Oh, turbulent me, just forget your needs Remember what brought about your chosen solidarity Oh, no, loneliness has no power over me! But you got that gaze as deep as the oceans And I catch myself swimming in those currents That I fear I cannot fight But as you speak to me I fear honestly That I’ll remember what its like to need And I can’t let that be For when you look at me I know you can see My uncomfortable reactions Based on my attraction for forgetting myself completely Oh, turbulent me can I consciously not add weight to every syllable I sing? Would that alter my very being? For I no longer know that woman in I That’s not heavy with burden but air and light And does not question her virtue Every time she smiles Oh, turbulent me just forget your needs Remember why you chose this solidarity You became heavy with your grief Loneliness has no power over me Lampshades covered dark You’re about to witness all my scars Loneliness has no power over me I bite my lip To keep from moving them Stay Loneliness has no power over me Stay
