Time stands still
Cold metal, writhing fateful rope
Am I your creation
Waiting for something I know will never come
Am I so momentary
What is wrong with me
Nothing happens in a flash
Yet all the worst moments always seem to last
You talk about respect with such little understanding
Still don't expect me to respect my own
What about the memories
Days trapped by fear
Collecting poison in my throat
Cough it up, hope it slips away
When it could have stayed
Could have become me
Am I so momentary
What is wrong with me
Nothing happens in a flash
Yet all the worst moments always seem to last
You talk about respect with such little understanding
Still don't expect me to respect my own
What about the memories
I'd rather bury them with you
But I will die before you see the truth
All I can hope is that the day does come
A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run
I'd rather bury them with you
But I will die before you see the truth
All I can hope is that the day does come
A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run
You talk about respect with so little understanding
Still don't expect me to respect my own
What about the memories
I'd rather bury them with you
But I will die before you see the truth
All I can hope is that the day does come
A girl like me doesn't need to learn to run
