Greetings from the latest stage of grief. I’ve never felt so happy or relieved. ‘Cause I’m done with all the deals, and the loopholes, and the cartwheels. ‘Cause no amount of bargaining tastes as good as freedom feels.

Even though you tell me you love me, I'm afraid that you just love my disguise. Taste my fears and light your candle to my raging fire of broken desire. But don't judge me. I know I got issues, but they drown when I kiss you. Don't judge me. Baptize me with ocean, recognize my devotion.

She's been there, God knows, she's been there. She has seen and done it all. She's a woman. She knows how to dish it out or take it all. Her heart's as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies. And she's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies.

I leave my home, desolate but not alone. I have a gift, I’ve been told, for seeing what’s there. And I will chase all the rain, pull it down, call it pain. To possess something arcane, oh, it’s a heavy weight. We leave love behind without a tear or a long goodbye. And as we wait for lightning to strike, we are enthralled by the calling of the eye.

I know I’ve lived as a quiet apology. I’m sorry to you and I’m sorry to me. I’ve got grief in my marrow, will you marry me still? I’m one of two on the straight and the narrow, and I’m coming for you.

If you fight like a girl, cry like a girl, do your thing, run the whole damn world. If you feel like a girl, then you real like a girl. Do your thing, run the whole damn world!

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill. Shoes that were not made for running up that hill. And I need to run up that hill, I need to run up that hill. I will, I will, I will, I will, I will. Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

If you're high strung or stressed out, down in the dumps, been turned out, stabilized, motorized, insecure or fableized, curious or furious, picked apart like Prometheus, legalized, penalized - stamp your feet, dry out your eyes. If you want to go where they chain up the sun, see Fernando! See Fernando! He’ll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone, see Fernando! See Fernando!
