Lyrics

I tried so hard to be good
I really did;
To keep my comments inaudible
To smooth the curl of distain
From my lips and nostrils
I can't really help myself
Despite the kind of intentions
That de-motivate me
To give myself away
In small, bloody strips
To anyone who asks
And some who don't

(Nothing helps)

I've tried to put everything
In the right place
To find order, accomplishment
Accommodate
Never to upset
The carefully orchestrated atmosphere
Of those I attend to
But could not help

(This is an ugly thing)

Happiness could be yours
Absently
