Wake from this slumbernMy tongue is clutterednI shudder to thinknOf all the things you've kept from menWhy won't you listen to any of my excuses?nThey're clever, I swearnI'm always preparednnIt's life and deathnIt's love and sexnIt's everything about younWhy'd you have to make this mess?nYou never really had tonnThis room shakes with resounding soundsnOf the mistakes I never madenI'm here to blamennIt's life and deathnIt's love and sexnIt's everything about younWhy'd you have to make this mess?nYou never had tonI'll give it time, time to let gonRest assured, my voice is heard wherever you gonnIt's a sound, it's a whisper drawing listenersnSurely you have heard it differnFrom the lights and looks of thingsnI've always been in betweennnIt's life and deathnIt's love and sexnIt's everything about younWhy'd you have to make this mess?nYou never had tonI'll give it time, time to let gonRest assured, my voice is heard wherever you go
