All I Really Want

Do I stress you out?
My sweater's on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate?

And I'd like to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart, you see
But I can't help it

And there I go jumping before the gun shot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler

And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want
Is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice

And all I really want
Is deliverance
Ahh

Do I wear you out? (Do I wear you out)
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary (Ahh)

I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in

And then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy (your apathy, your apathy.)

And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual woman

I'm humbled by her humble nature (Yeah)
And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate?
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred?
Ahh

Enough about me
Let's talk about you for a minute

Enough about you
Let's talk about life for a while

The conflicts

The craziness

And the sound of pretenses is falling
All around, all around

Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here, can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills Bills
Your pills Pills
Your deadlines Deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die? You're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction? Mmm.

And all I need now is intellectual intercourse Do do do...
A soul to dig the hole much deeper Oh oh oh

And I have no concept of time Do do do...
Other than it is flying

If only I could kill the killer Ah ah ah.

And all I really want is some peace man
A place to find some common ground

And all I really want is a wavelength
Ahhh

And all I really want is some comfort (Ohh)
A way to get my hands untied (Ohh)

And all I really want is some justice (Ohh)

Ahh

Ahhh
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm me down

And all I really want is deliverance
A way to find some common ground
