dear hermes 04:40
maybe i'd commit the crime if i held my breath, and i closed my eyes; but i can't sleep, no i can't sleep, i can't sleep no more. not just anything flies not just, not just- maybe if i carried a knife i could cut the ties, but, despite my tryin'; i can't sleep, no i can't sleep, i can't sleep anymore. it's been a while, i'm swimmin' free beside the child, inside of me it's been a while, i'm swimmin' free beside the girl, inside of me. sorry i find it tough to try it makes it hard to start, so i'm a bit behind; i can't sleep

busy little button, why you so slow? put your hands together, what a show! mama's got a secret, you don't wanna know wish she'd let me keep it you don't want to know. salty little honey, there you go; got me feeling funny high and low. gee, i'm feeling seasick- all the ebb and flow wish that i could beat this you don't want to know. breakin' baby branches heel and toe now i'm feeling anxious, oughta go. wish that i could stay, but something's in my throat. i'd try to explain, but you don't want-

letting go can be beautiful letting go can be- oh my lord! oh my lord, all my friends are poor all my friends are finding god can be comical finding god can be- oh my lord! oh my lord, all my friends are whores all my friends are could you love me too? i've been lookin' for you, i've been thinkin' of you, could you love me, too? i could love you.

we wax we wax we wane; we grow we pass we pain; hold you in my arms till the cows come home again, run toward the mountains shout your name. we wax we wax we wane; the light, the dark, the grey; hold each other close it's a promise that we made, search for you at sunrise shout your name.

i am no man's daughter i'm alive though there is a man who calls himself my father, the child he mistakes me for has died. did you really think that somehow i'd forget this? well i tried. i'm a survivor, but your daughter, she didn't make it; i remember her she haunts me all the time. it's hard to be the bearer of this sad truth, but i am not his daughter, i'm living proof- i never had a father, this man's confused. your daughter sir- i'm not her it's tough to find the words, sir; i know it hurts. i'm alive

i'm real scared of dying i swear, i really care before i'm old, i've gotta wear my soul down to the bone i'm not ready to come home i'm real sick of crying i swear, it's tough to bear before i'm sold, i've gotta let my soul unfold i'm not ready to come home i feel tired just remembering i swear my heart ain't there, anymore before i go, i've gotta let you know: i've exorcised your holy ghost i've rid my soul of your control now you won't haunt this house no more.
