My whole life has been about control
Disjointing mind from history
You will only stay intrigued should I choose to conceal it
But if you press too hard or force upon me your will
Will never be able to say you’ve encountered a storm like me

I don’t like the way I’m living
But it’s my path, so why not follow?
I know you’re alarmed at how I steal it and tear through you, curtailing limits

My very best years were when you were knowingly breaking me
Why would I have had it any other way —
Your forcing me to receive it?!

Burden & wound
It’s how I stay alive
It does not behoove you to hurt the martyr or beat the seeker
With broken hand she will only take you over

Seems I can’t get all that I need out of just one single man
My sampling traits from different people
Good lord it’s getting out of hand!

Behold the truth as you now know it:
I never took a stance on anything
I never cared about your feelings
I never had a man on my team
I never thought I would be married

Sometimes fate is not what we need
I’ve accepted mine, why not you yours?
God is clearly unamused by what we’ve plead for
Now is your chance for giving in!
