Here I am all sad and lonely Here I am going nowhere again Here I am all high and loaded Just wondering where all the gravity went. You don’t have a way to hold me down I don’t have a weight to carry It’s only my mind that’s working now to twist my head. Here I am all sad and lonely I’m waiting around for something new to begin Here I am, my pockets are loaded I’m saving it all for a bet I can win. You don’t have a way to hold me down I don’t have a weight to carry It’s only my mind that’s working now to cool my hand. You don’t have a way to hold me down I don’t have a weight to carry It’s only my mind that’s working now to tie my hands. You found a weight to hold me down But I found a way to carry it I’m just a faded shadow casting on that wall. I found a way to understand and I found the strength to carry it, I’m going to kill my body so to save my soul.

Well, is this possible? Here you come again. Like some kind of animal that can’t be put to death. Strange ideas are filling my ears they’re making me want for something. Strange ideas are making me feel weird and not letting me go. Leave me to my solitude, leave me to my war. I’ve nothing left to give, and here you’re wanting more. Strange ideas are filling my ears they’re making me less than human. Strange ideas are making me feel weird they’re stealing my soul. Strange ideas are filling my ears they’re making me wild and loathsome. Strange ideas are making me feel weird they’re killing me whole.

Open-eyed and self-assured, I got a lot of something. I know, I know, a dirty word, but that’s the way my heart sings. Wide awake and dreaming of all the ways they left me bare and cold and all alone and waiting for that feeling. But they don’t want to know. They don’t want to know. Someday I will say it all and all the world will hear me. That’s the way the story starts and that’s the way it’s ending. Then they’ll want to know. Then they’ll want to know. I got my heart open wide and I want to love. I got my heart open wide and I want to love— but, after all, here I am, just waking up.
