I'm telling you it's bona fide This feeling that I seek to hide My twisted arm it's tongue in cheek I let it slip another week The spider crawls across the scrim But is he out or is he in Between the glass and window frame In purgatory or in pain Would you believe me if I said I didn't have a clue What the words will be until they make it out to you You can look away but that doesn't mean it isn't there Look it in the eye and tell me that you're unaware I'll let it sit another night Until it starts to sound right Do I let it rot or let it age Pull the plug and disengage Under the skin, there's tooth and nail Fighting for right to prevail I choose my battles every day And gage my wage against decay Would you believe me if I said I didn't have a clue What the words will be until they make it out to you You can look away but that doesn't mean it isn't there Look it in the eye and tell me that you're unaware You think it's easy, have you ever even had a clue It makes me queasy knowing that I don't know what to do Every time I turn around I'm possessed by paradigm And when I want, I'm going to do it right this time
