lyrics

a tightness in my stomach
a distress restricts my steps
i can't put these thoughts to rest
i hate living in my head
release me from my mind
sometimes i want to die

i don't know that self
i swept and kept shelved
but my head would rattle
rattle and rattle
one day i fell
not me but myself
that self on the shelf
i didn't know it was me

i picked up a piece
to match a knob to a key
they weren't interlocking
a socket missing
i tried gently
my patience weak
why won't they fit
am i not this
myself isn't me
but i can't leave things be
so i forced the piece
now am i complete?
