Corduroy - Brett Dennen

The waiting drove me mad

You’re finally here and I’m a mess

I take your entrance back

Can’t let you roam inside my head

I don’t wanna take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your bread

I would rather run but I can’t walk

Guess I’ll lie alone just like before

I’ll take the vermin’s path

Oh, and I must refuse your test

A push me and I will resist

This behavior’s not unique

I don’t wanna hear from those who know

They can buy, but can’t put on my clothes

I don’t wanna limp for them to walk

Never would have known of me before

I don’t wanna be held in your debt

I’ll pay it off in blood, let I be wed

I’m already cut up and half dead

I’ll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains

Absolutely nothing’s changed

Take my hand, not my picture

Spilled my tincture

I don’t wanna take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your bread

All the things that others want for me

Can’t buy what I want because it’s free

Can’t buy what I want because it’s free

Can’t be what you want because I’m

Why ain’t it supposed to be just fun

Oh, to live and die, let it be done

I figure I’ll be damned

All alone like I began
