Denial - Mannequin Pussy

At night, sometimes my thoughts collide

My body shakes

I feel so separated from what I thought I’d be and what I am

Is there nothing I can do

To make it up to them to make it up

Or does time just separate me?

I want to feel the earth, its crushingness

As it wraps around my neck

I’ve been feeling lately like I need to be alone

You’ve been thinking much too deeply about how to atone

When I close my eyes I’m never really by myself

All the strangers that adore me put me on a shelf

Pick yourself up, baby

Everything’s gonna be fine

But if not, so what?

You’ll get it the next time

You should stop getting down on yourself every day

It’s ok to fall apart when you feel so crazy

I’ve been feeling lately like I need to be alone

You’ve been thinking much too deeply about how to atone

When I close my eyes I’m never really by myself

All the strangers that adore me put me on a shelf
