I Want To Be Good
from I Recant by Tendon Levey
lyrics
My hand has no warmth
As it holds itself up to the oven, yet
(... a room that looks like mine
I’ll give you a room with a look like mine)
Oh, look at likeness
Liking itself in here
Keep dying standing up
I can’t feel the kiss
From the time that I’m in
Is it giving one
And don’t I work for one
I want to be good
At every single thing
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they
As it holds itself up to the oven, yet
(... a room that looks like mine
I’ll give you a room with a look like mine)
Oh, look at likeness
Liking itself in here
Keep dying standing up
I can’t feel the kiss
From the time that I’m in
Is it giving one
And don’t I work for one
I want to be good
At every single thing
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they understand
Why it is I can’t
Do they
