lyrics

Why am I angry like this? This is everything I asked
Thought when I made this choice I could leave it in the past
But it climbed into my bags into my pockets and in my mouth
Even through clenched teeth the bitter bitch is breaking out
Why am I angry like this?

Why am I bleeding like this? This is just a minor scrape
Well sure it was break and enter but please don’t call it –
Don’t call it like you see it. You didn’t see that.
Seeing is believing and I don’t believe in that
I believe in beauty and I believe in love
It’s what I’m here to claim, it’s what I’m here to make
And it’s the only thing I will ever hear you speak of

I try but I can’t describe his face
Though I feel his hands on me every day
But a spell that’s cast can surely break
So I’ll sing this as a love song in his name

Why am I laughing like this? It’s making people stare
But I kind of like to watch them squirm unprepared
And to tell the truth my smile she is shaking in her boots
Trying to hold her ground ‘till someone sets her loose
Why am I laughing like this?
It’s my own little inside sick joke

I try but I can’t describe his face
Though I feel his hands on me every day
But a spell that’s cast can surely break
So I’ll sing this as a love song in his name
I’ll sing for those of you who pay the cost
Of something stolen that has the right to be lost
I refuse to let it be in vain
So I’ll sing this as a love song in his name

I believe in beauty and I believe in love
But I guess that’s obvious because everyone believes that stuff
I believe we’ll overthrow the tyrannous reign
And I believe in joy after years of pain
I believe in change

I try but I can’t describe his face
Though I feel his hands on me every day
But a spell that’s cast can surely break
So I’ll sing this as a love song in his name
I’ll sing for those of us who pay the cost
Of something stolen that has the right to be lost
I refuse to let it be in vain
So I’ll sing this as a love song in his name
