"If You Must" lyrics

I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego?

Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or storyline
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude?

If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing
Perfecting, pressuring
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me

I will wade in the fire
To explain your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare all our sightings
If you must

I speak
To hear
My voice

I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego?

Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or storyline
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude?

If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing
Perfecting, pressuring
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
