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
