My irrationality is like a nationality I'd rather bear its flag I know And of my sensitivities, yeah, some have taken liberties But they are everything I know Challenge all your empathy Let's move it out at glacial speed I'm running on persistence And "Give it just a little time" Is always the familiar line So you have my resistance And I will not illuminate your words I will persevere until it hurts Give myself up all just to be heard And I would not presume to hate the world Walked me through the garden where The weeds were growing everywhere And running off their mouths Who was it that watered you That once were sons and daughters too? So I can understand how you all came about And I will not illuminate your words And I will persevere until it hurts And give myself up all just to be heard I would not presume to hate the world Oh, I will not illuminate your words And I will persevere until it hurts Oh, give myself up all just to be heard And I would not presume to hate the world
