The waiting drove me mad… you're finally here and I’m a mess
I take your riches back… can't let you roam inside my head
I don’t want to take what you can give…
I would rather starve than eat your bread…
I would rather run but I can’t walk…
Guess I’ll lie alone just like before…
I’ll take the varments back… oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist… this behavior’s not unique
I don’t want to hear from those who know…
They can buy, but can’t put on my clothes…
I don’t want to limp for them to walk…
Never would have known of me before…
I don’t want to be held in your debt…
I’ll pay it off in blood then I’ll be wed…
I’m already cut off and I’m dead…
I’ll end up alone like I began…
Everything has chains, absolutely nothing’s changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my teacher
I don’t want to take what you can give…
I would rather starve than eat your breast…
All the things that others want for me…
Can’t buy what I want because it’s free… (2x)
Can’t be what you want because I’m…
I ain’t s’posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I’ll be damned, all alone like I began…
I’m pretty sure that this song is paying homage to Fleetwood Mac with its references to chains. The bass riff in the last minute reminds me of the one from The Chain by FM
I listened to the Rearview Mirror version of this on a loop when I was in AIT at For Jackson, South Carolina in December 2004 the weekend before I went on leave for Christmas.
