about

This is not a love song.

lyrics

My bitter indignation
Task after task
Source of my animosity
Source of this acrimony

Tell me about it
Tell me about it
There’s nobody home but air
Your mistake, left cash for theft
Broken glasses in my dreams
Tears and pain you’ve caused me

Smash my head into the wall
I don’t wish you pain
I just need you to open your eyes
And see you’ve stolen from me
All I had left to gain
It’s just my rancor
From the long-term towering
Glib and snide
Glib and snide

Give it a while
You’ll see that material isn’t worth your time

I’m not the only one
You stole my dignity
You’ve got the spirit of the banshee
You’re the woman of the fairy mound
Your wail, that shriek; it reaps my worth
You reap what you sew
Behind the back of your man, another suitor will stand
He knows you totally can, you’re capable, but hardly a human
