My irrationality is like a nationality
I'd rather bear its flag I know
And of my sensitivities, yeah, some have taken liberties
But they are everything I know
Challenge all your empathy
Let's move it out at glacial speed
I'm running on persistence
And "Give it just a little time"
Is always the familiar line
So you have my resistance
And I will not illuminate your words
I will persevere until it hurts
Give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world
Walked me through the garden where
The weeds were growing everywhere
And running off their mouths
Who was it that watered you
That once were sons and daughters too?
So I can understand how you all came about
And I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
And give myself up all just to be heard
I would not presume to hate the world
Oh, I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
Oh, give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world
