I got caught between boredom and anger
A hammer came to the party to blind
All of my confidence
It had a warrant
Knocked on the door
And split open my mind
What are we doing?
Who are these people?
How did we let them get a
Word in edgewise?
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
I got stuck in a state of reluctance
My hand was bitten by the mouth that it fed
I tried to slip back into the bathroom
A thought approached me
As my fingers bled
Who are these people?
How do they see me?
Would they get up if I
Let them down now?
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
If they survive every buried disorder
And come to terms with a life on the ledge
I could be kind to myself in the mortar
And take a moment with the hammer again
Who are you fooling?
You're just a turnstile
I know the way
And I can see myself down the line
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
