Anna Lee

Strung Out

You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt

The daylight passes through me To another crippled verse

Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends;

Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed

Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

In the dark we all see what we know

It's the space that scares us so

You lead me to your garden where only dead things dare to grow

You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show

Normalness escapes me to the point of no return

The memories around thi place keep us from movin' on

Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

In the dark we all see what we know

Its the space that scares us so The endless balmy air we breathe

This city's startin' to get to me tonight

I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here

I find the comfort in the pain I always cause...all night

She says she might wait around for me

To come along with a promise and a dream
