lyrics

I can see there's no one listening
I'll just scream inside my head
But I can see where something's missing

Now I profess
You're the mess
Don't come in 'till you're undressed
And I can see what you've been eating &
What's been eating you

You find it all strangely euphoric
That I just eat what I've been fed
But I find your love too high caloric

Now I profess
You're the mess
Don't come in 'till you're undressed
Don't come in 'till I can see it for myself
Even a promise has a shelf-life
Don't be confused if you hit land mines
At least with my bombs you can hear the ticking

You find it all strangely attractive
If I could scream inside your head
You'd see our love's radioactive

Now I confess
I'm the mess
Don't come in 'cause I'm undressed
And you might see what you've been stealing
When you're unpeeling me
And revealing
The real me
