Your Irrational Preoccupation
From "Panes of the Heart," 2009
I know you are beside yourself Because I don't want you I know you have been angry and confused Since I have left you I know you are gripped with fear and worry Because I don't need you I know you are sorry Because I'm not in love with you Here's a clue: Stop calling me Stop buying me shit The relationship is over Stop hovering around Stop losing it You'll make me run for cover No I don't want to be friends You had your chance When we were bathed in sin Stop trying to get along With my family They're not going to let you in Stop clocking me And my every move I'll call the damn police Stop harrasing my friends They don't like you And they want to see you fleeced Stop using my lonliness For an excuse To keep manipulating I don't like you I am not in love with you Can you grasp what I am saying?
