POSSUM (feat. Eels)

I've been playing possum
Cause I want to survive
But if you really love something
You've gotta learn to learn to let it die
I wanna stop running
Wanna wring myself dry
Gonna pack up and take my whole body to the scene of the crime

I keep pulling the string, I keep fighting the sting
I keep putting it off but I'm tired of the same old thing

Oh 'cause it's always something
But don't wanna burn my bridge entirely
I've gotta let go and see what comes out alive
Don't wanna brace for nothing
I'm pulling the bandage off and let it bleed
You best believe that I'm done playing possum
I'm gonna let myself feel everything

Gonna let it blossom
Gonna let it cut deep
Fuck your "heart on your sleeve"
Gonna really feel something
Stop pretending that it's just me

Wanna feel better
Do you wanna feel better?
I really wanna try
Go and let yourself cry
But I'm scared of the things that I've buried I might just find

Oh 'cause it's always something
But don't wanna burn my bridge entirely
I've gotta let go and see what comes out alive
Don't wanna brace for nothing
I'm pulling the bandage off and let it bleed
You best believe that I'm done playing possum
I'm gonna let myself feel everything
I'm done playing possum
