Straitjacket

  • Something so benign for 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 a skewed interpret
    I swear you won't be happy 'til
    I'm bound in a straight jacket

    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 a skewed interpret
    I swear you won't be happy til
    I'm bound in a straight jacket

    Grand dissonance
    The strings of my puppet are cut
    The end of an era
    Your discrediting'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 a skewed interpret
    I swear you won't be happy til
    I'm bound in a straight jacket Writer/s: Alanis Morissette, Guy Sigsworth
