about

There's frustration in a relationship when it seems you can't even stand your own ground, so here's to making a passive agressive imperative declaration.

lyrics

My trigger pulled, you start the race.
I took a shot, I had to chase.
But I was blinded by your grace
From seeing you won't let me wipe the smile off of my face.
Fatigued and weary, I persist.
I tag along if you insist.
I'll chase you down if you are pissed.
I've been arrested. Let me speak. You don't. You can't resist.

How is it you have got control?
It's either all by default, somehow my fault, or you stole.
I never forfeited or flaunted my free will about.
You didn't need me to, to narrow what your will allowed.
And yet I've lost, I find myself in need.
I don't ask. It's more imperative. I demand. I plead.
Let me, let me
Be at least an equal here.
Let me, let me
Be, when I don't volunteer.
Let me, let me,
Just let me whisper in your ear
As if I confidently feel that I'll convince you. Let me hear.

There isn't much for me to say,
So I won't stutter or delay.
Don't be impatient; not today!
If you would only let me get this thing out of the way.
You've leapt conclusions by the bound.
Between us, chasms all you found.
I'd put your feet back to the ground,
So then why don't you let me? Why do you keep me around?

I demand. I plead.
Let me, let me
Be at least an equal here.
Let me, let me
Be, when I don't volunteer.
Let me, let me,
If you could let me make this clear;
Together we invent the wheel, and you would never let me steer.

Is my defense why you offend?
You purse your lips and curse. I sense
The sentiment's not meant to mend
(If I could own my own defense)
The ties that ever had been severed.
Now I fear I've persevered
I plead. Allow me, as endeavored,
To appear to you endeared.

You kill me. I can't comprehend
Why you consider me a friend.
You took me like some latest trend
Then took the rest, now let me rest in pieces. Let this end.

Let me, let me,
Let me, let me.
