BRUISES

When I take a bite, I have to eat the whole thing up
When I pick a fight, I have to be the one who's right
I'll just take the bruises with the fruit
And I'll just take the bruises with the losers too
Just another kind of girl with a mother and a world all her own
You can't reach the telephone, it'll just beep
Is she dying, is she dead?
She's alone inside her head
Does she need any help?
What a lonely place to be
When will you all leave me be?
To spend time with misery
She's always good company
I know you all wish me well
It's too bad I'm headed for hell
I'm too paranoid to breathe
There's no thought I can believe
I'm a pebble, I'm a flea
I have fallen from my tree
Rotting fruit bruises by me on the floor of my dreams
Nothing to do but stare up at the ceiling now that I'm peeling, I am soft You can eat me if you want
When I take a bite, I have to eat the whole thing up
When I pick a fight, I have to be the one who's right
I'll just take the bruises with the fruit
And I'll just take the bruises with the losers too

The result is a collection of songs that are both sunny and sad, refulgent and melancholic—like bruises concealed by lipstick smiles and dollops of foundation. ... more
