Owls in the Attic - Dear Marlene lyrics

The weight of every whisper It seems too much to bear This war inside my head's taking it's toll But to resist this constant battle Is to remind myself that I am not alone This world is now better on my own Say what you want, you'll never break me And we will settle the score and I'll tell you Exactly what you never wanted to hear Take what you want, you'll never take me And I'll send you back to where you came from I will not live within this fear The devil that you know Is better than the one you don't I am familiar with every man that I've crossed Little bugs pulling strings through my skull I cannot stand the sounds of my thoughts I am afraid of what I know not I carry the weight of every whisper That I have heard Fractured pieces Snatched by hands and carried upwards I am so useless When the choice is not mine to make All these houses look the same From the back of this nameless mistake Manifest your fears Feed the knife Say what you want, you'll never break me And we will settle the score and I'll tell you Exactly what you never wanted to hear Take what you want, you'll never take me And I'll send you back to where you came from I will not live within this fear How can I pull you out When I am falling in myself Imploding personalities Rack up the casualties Nowhere to turn Blind in the night Resist the urge Give up the fight You are the scum between my toes Dear Marlene, I hate your guts Signed, Marlene
