lyrics

why am i cynical
about these things these matters of the heart

Its gotten me nowhere
only this state i which i call alone

i shouldn't over-think
it hasn't got me results so far

why cant I
set up an experiment
and repeat it
over and over and over again
just to get a handle
a scientific grip on my own life
i go though this
over and over and over and over again

It's just typical
of me to not just put myself out there

hyper-reflection
is stunting tiring tearing me apart

why do i go through this
over and over and over and over again
[incoherent screaming]

well i wish i can just look up and say...

this I ask, my final wish
final cry of a heart anguished
let me fall, be blinded by,
let me fall, driven mad by
the elusive thing

called "love"
