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
