I thought I was a master of disguise
a bright veneer atop the mess inside
looking back I'm not surprised
you saw through it, you don't want me to hide
the fact that you want me whole and not in pieces
takes some getting used to
when you’ve loved the way I’ve loved
throwing all of me in front of faster cars for reasons
I can’t explain but somehow you know
I would destroy everything I built at your command
if you asked me to
I'd give up, give in, let 'em win but now I understand
that's something you would never do
if it were just one word I wouldn't listen
there was a time when I stood so tall
feels like I was built to let it all in
all the little messengers of doubt that say I should crawl
back to those who wanted the ideal
I didn’t know that’s not how love should feel
throwing all of me in front of faster cars for reasons
I can’t explain but somehow you know
I would tear it down
I would let it burn
But you would never ask me baby and I've gotta learn
To have a voice outside
To match the voice inside me
To never wonder if - baby I could sure get used to this

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities.
In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
