Lyrics
I told you once, I told you twice, I told you a thousand times.
If you step one inch closer, you will understand, realize. I
am so much other than the skin on my face and the air
in my throat. Be careful what you think and what you say.
You crave what you don't know. I am surprised by my
emotional triggers, when I think about growing up into
adulthood. It's no longer, no longer simple. It's no longer,
no longer simple. All I thought of life, all I thought was so
sinful has begged me to question my pride's own obsession
for incessant wisdom. Yes, I'll admit I fumble over
incoherent territory. Defensively dance to a rhythm uninformed
to speak slowly. So, I breath quickly. One breath could
separate face value what blows away from what falls to the
ground. You claim to know me. I won't hold you to it. Only the
wind knows my name. I am surprised I hold onto what withers.
So, I'll drop my gold head to recover to face the ground. It's no
longer, no longer simple. It's no longer, no longer simple. All I
thought of life, all I thought was so sinful has begged me to
question my pride's own obsession for incessant wisdom.
