Stay Away


Now there's a concerted effort
For each word that's on this page
Not to reveal my true self
My desires and the plans that I've made

I think it's most peculiar
That you think you know who I am
From the things that I edit and then revise further
From the smoke and the stroke of my hand

There's some thunder outside
But in here I can hide
As long as you just stay away
As long as you just stay away

So you're just a blind man's censor
For each word you find to be true
You don't concern yourself with some perception
Because you think that it's still up to you

I think that it's quite telling
That you think you deserve to belong
I've been straddling the fence for what I need to say
God I hope I haven't spoken too long

There's some thunder outside
But in here I can hide
As long as you just stay away
As long as you just stay away

Why do you think you know me so well?
I did what I did because you couldn't tell
Interpret this art when only sex sells
It's coming apart for your heart to propel

There's some thunder outside
But in here I can hide
As long as you just stay away
As long as you just stay away
