I Want To Be Well
To think that I would die this time
Isolated in the room where the bed rises
Photographic ordinary people are everywhere
Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories
(I'll find sleep, I'll find peace)
(For in death we sleep with ease)
To figure that it was my fault
Or so I've come to realize life is not about
Love to some and ordinary people are everywhere
Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are
(Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn)
(Illness is watching, waiting its turn)
Did I go at it wrong?
Did I go intentionally to destroy me?
I'm suffering in noise
I'm suffering in touching ordinary bodies
The burning from within
The burning from with- ordinary hysteria
I could not be at rest
I could not be at peace, extraordina- hysteria
So do yourself some good (do yourself a good thing)
Or do yourself a death (do yourself a good thing)
From ordinary causes (do yourself a good thing)
(Do yourself a good thing)
Or do yourself a favor (do yourself a good thing)
Or do yourself a death from ordinary causes (do yourself a good thing)
(Do yourself a good thing)
Illness likes
To prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely
When it bites
Oh, I would rather be dead, I would rather give up
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well, I want to be
And I forgive you even (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
As you choke me that way (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
With the pill or demon (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
And the shrouded shovel (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
Under conversation (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
In tremendous weight of (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
A crowd of ages outside (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
Dressed for murder (well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be well, I)
And shall I kiss you even
As you take me that way?
With the pill or demon
As my body changes (well, I want to be)
Apparitions gone awry (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
They surround me all sides (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
But from within, I see it (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
Unholy changes (well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be)
