(2006)
Despite the lies I tell myself I know the truth Will always haunt me Like unsolved murders I lay awake thinking

Lucky as you are Individuality is yours Voice your thoughts Even if only to yourself Integrity

Eat the pumpkin Stupid parrot Stop mocking me And calling me names I hate playing those games
If you even knew About me... Everything... As you said you wanted to... You might make assumptions
Even when I wanted to run Straight for the hills I stayed here Taking my pills Pretending there are birds
