Close to the Bone

Yes I hate you but I hold it in Keep my manners it makes me spin With tight lips I'll run aground A reprisal pays by the pound But I just keep it close to the bone Inside I thrash like a cyclone Restrain my will it's gut wrenching I've tried everything I detest you thoughts run amok Hide my feelings under this cloak With thin skin, I'm vulnerable This libertine is unshakable But I just keep it close to the bone Dream of the day that I can disown Restrain my will and my danders up I need some good luck Karma does it apply I'm a passerby This clairvoyant is so much more than an irritant Emotion factory reset Emotion factory regret I worry daily that your slipping Emotion factory target - prophet I forgive you and turn the cheek Take the high road refuse to speak With respect I tune you out This companion ain't on my route it ain't on my route But I just But I just keep it close to the bone Swing back and forth must I atone Restrain my will and discontent Can't turn away the money is spent Keep it close to the bone Inside I thrash like a cyclone Restrain my will it's gut wrenching I've tried everything Everything Close to the bone I keep it
