"Corduroy" lyrics

"Corduroy"

The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head

I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the vermin's path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
A push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
I don't wanna limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before

I don't wanna be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture

I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free

Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm

Why ain't it supposed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began
