You've been here all day,
You're tired and worn out,
Something really aches me,
When you sweep the floors.
Please don't be annoyed,
I've been pacing back and forth,
'Coz you've been washing dishes,
And all five hundred plates.
You work way more than I do,
And that's what scares me most,
And here's the trouble with me,
I just can't feel safe
Can't, feel,
Safe.
Won't you get off,
And get some rest,
With me.
I found you so compelling,
The pedestal was high.
Been hyperventilating,
As you walked by.
Your movements were so intricate,
Enlightened, and well-informed.
It was all or nothing,
I wanted nothing at all.
I said,
Won't you get off,
And get some rest,
With me.
Don't be afraid,
Take your time.

My Marionette

I'm not that dead,
Inside my head,
I know that she
Will come for me.
She's not half-bad,
She makes me glad,
It's so hard to let go,
But I need her so.
My marionette,
She's heaven-sent,
She is so hell-bent
(Yeah, she'll keep you content)
She's pulling my strings,
From under her wings,
And she dances and sings,
(Yeah, she'll make you repent)
My marionette,
She's never upset,
She got no regrets,
(She takes what she can get)
She's outta control,
But she's never alone,
And when she's on a roll,
(Yeah, she'll make you forget)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
My marionette.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
As I breathe in,
She breathes me out,
No one ever knows
What I'm always on about
She caught my eye,
Yeah, she don't lie,
I must say goodbye,
'Fore she gets me high
My marionette,
She's heaven-sent,
She is so hell-bent
(Yeah, she'll keep you content)
She's pulling my strings,
From under her wings,
And she dances and sings,
(Yeah, she'll make you repent)
My marionette,
She's never upset,
She got no regrets,
(She takes what she can get)
She's outta control,
But she's never alone,
And when she's on a roll,
(Yeah, she'll make you forget)
My marionette,
She's sex-obsessed,
She's never second-best
(Yeah, she'll make you confess)
She's living the dream,
She's never making a scene,
But she's making me green,
(Yeah, she's got some finesse)
My marionette,
She's heaven-sent,
She is so hell-bent
(Yeah, she'll keep you content)
She's pulling my strings,
From under her wings,
And she dances and sings,
(Yeah, she'll make you repent)
My marionette,
She's never upset,
She got no regrets,
(She takes what she can get)
She's outta control,
But she's never alone,
And when she's on a roll,
(Yeah, she'll make you forget)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
My marionette.

Hot Takes

Gotta take a chance, but I don't want to,
Gotta take a stance, but I don't want to,
Gotta be different the way that I want to,
Such a sweet career.
Gotta the bed, but I don't need to,
Gotta make amends, but I don't need to,
Gotta make the bread, all whole-wheat too,
I can't stand it here.
Blind rage,
There's lots of blind hate,
Don't be the Oscar bait,
Or you won't see the sun
You're irate,
You're making hot takes,
Until the ground bakes,
Aw, you're stealing all the fun
My, my
Wanna mess around, and I can't stop it,
Gonna let you down and I can't stop it,
Wanna change the topic but you can't drop it,
Let me take you down.
Wanna make a change, and I can't stop it,
Wanna turn the page, and I can't stop it,
Wanna really try to blitzkrieg bop it,
Try to make a sound.
Mind tricks,
Go get your dope fix,
Go watch your dumb flicks,
Aw, d'you need some self-help books,
Just hear me,
Nobody sees me,
Nobody feels me,
Oh, I wanna disappear
My, my
(I wanna talk about cinema,
I wanna talk about songs,
I wanna talk about where I come from,
'Coz you might have gotten it wrong,
I wanna talk about politics,
I can't keep it off my mind,
I wanna be aware of the world around me,
So don't you dare, don't you dare,
Waste my time.)
Mind tricks,
Go get your dope fix,
Go watch your dumb flicks,
Aw, do you need some self-help books,
You're irate,
You're making hot takes,
Until the ground bakes,
Oh, I wanna disappear.
My, my
Come get my hot takes.

Can
You feel
My heartbeat
As
Your head
Rests on my chest
And you
Should know
That I
Can feel
You aching
Feel you aching for me
I'll be with you till the sun goes away,
I'll be with you till the end of my days,
When I'm with you, don't you lead me astray,
When I'm with you, we will be on our way
I
Can feel
Your loving
Feel your loving
In
Your kisses
In your kisses, my love
I'll be with you till the sun goes away,
I'll be with you till the end of my days,
When I'm with you, don't you lead me astray,
When I'm with you, we will be on our way
