Lyrics for Straitjacket

Something so benign from me Construed as cruelty Such a difference between Who I am and who you see Conclusions you come to of me Routinely incorrect I don't know who you're talking to With such fucking disrespect This shit's making me crazy The way you nullify what's in my head You say one thing, do another And argue that's not what you did Your way's making me mental How you filter askewed interpret? I swear you won't be happy 'til I am bound in a straitjacket Talking with you's like Talking to a sieve that can't hear me You fight me tooth and nail To disavow what's happening Your resistance to a mirror I feel screaming from your body One day I'll introduce myself And you'll see you've not yet met me This shit's making me crazy The way you nullify what's in my head You say one thing, do another And argue that's not what you did Your way's making me mental How you filter askewed interpret? I swear you won't be happy 'til I am bound in a straitjacket Grand dissonance The strings of my puppet are cut The end of an era Your dis-crediting's lost my consent This shit's making me crazy The way you nullify what's in my head You say one thing, do another And argue that's not what you did Your way's making me mental How you filter askewed interpret? I swear you won't be happy 'til I am bound in a straitjacket
