You Talk

Time stands still Cold metal, writhing fateful rope Am I your creation Waiting for something I know will never come Am I so momentary What is wrong with me Nothing happens in a flash Yet all the worst moments always seem to last You talk about respect with such little understanding Still don't expect me to respect my own What about the memories Days trapped by fear Collecting poison in my throat Cough it up, hope it slips away When it could have stayed Could have become me Am I so momentary What is wrong with me Nothing happens in a flash Yet all the worst moments always seem to last You talk about respect with such little understanding Still don't expect me to respect my own What about the memories I'd rather bury them with you But I will die before you see the truth All I can hope is that the day does come A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run I'd rather bury them with you But I will die before you see the truth All I can hope is that the day does come A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run You talk about respect with so little understanding Still don't expect me to respect my own What about the memories I'd rather bury them with you But I will die before you see the truth All I can hope is that the day does come A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run
