ZELLA MAYZELL - My Dear Wormwood lyrics
rate me
This is where I am<br>
This is who I am<br>
Some will say conditioned<br>
Some will say naïve<br>
<br>
This is where I am<br>
This is who I am<br>
Some will soon fall victim <br>
To the things that used to relieve<br>
<br>
Their minds of aching pressure<br>
Their bones of tension wrought<br>
<br>
We’ve entered into pitfalls<br>
Knowing full well that we would be caught<br>
<br>
But it seems so easy here<br>
To forget that we’re not on our own<br>
<br>
But we can’t escape this<br>
These people we follow<br>
These laws they create and condone<br>
<br>
I’ll do what you did before me<br>
I’ll follow close your lead<br>
I’ll make excuses for you<br>
And stumble till I bleed<br>
<br>
My knees rubbed raw from crawling<br>
And begging for a chance<br>
To live a life unlike yours<br>
<br>
This is where I am<br>
This is who I am<br>
They will scream conditioned<br>
And you will feel naïve<br>
<br>
It’s hard to take this and stand my ground<br>
But it’s needed now and it’s not just for my sake<br>
<br>
Why am I so shaky?<br>
How are you so strong?<br>
<br>
Stranger things have happened <br>
We all have nightmares<br>
But some follow us into day<br>
<br>
With all the lights out <br>
And all the doors locked<br>
We’ll see how tough I am<br>
<br>
With all the lights out<br>
And all the doors locked<br>
<br>
I only have faith in his name<br>
<br>
I’ll do what you did before me<br>
I’ll follow close your lead<br>
I’ll make excuses for you<br>
And stumble till I bleed<br>
<br>
My knees rubbed raw from crawling<br>
And begging for a chance<br>
To live a life unlike yours<br>
<br>
One full of pure romance<br>
<br>
This is way too much for you to tackle now<br>
Come back after lunch relaxed and full<br>
With a fresh mind<br>
Who knows what odd ideas<br>
Could come to you<br>
When you’re shut up all alone in there<br>
Alone in there with all your books<br>
<br>
Step outside<br>
And get a healthy dose<br>
Get a healthy dose of what I call real life<br>
<br>
You can follow me down<br>
Follow me down<br>
You can follow me down now<br>
<br>
You can follow me down<br>
Follow me down<br>
You can follow me down <br>
Follow me down now<br>
<br>
You can follow me down<br>
Follow me down<br>
You can follow me down<br>
Follow me down now<br>
<br>
And the newsboy screams midday now<br>
And the 73 drives by you<br>
And the 73 drives by you<br>
And the<br>
News<br>
Boy<br>
Screams<br>
Midday<br>
The 73 drives by you<br>
And the 73 drives by you<br>
<br>
This is where I am<br>
This is who I am<br>
This is where I am<br>
This is who I am<br>
<br>
I’ll do what you did before me<br>
I’ll follow close your lead<br>
I’ll make excuses for you<br>
And stumble till I bleed<br>
<br>
My knees rubbed raw from crawling<br>
And begging for a chance<br>
To live a life unlike yours<br>
