only talking sense

theres a wild thing in the woolshed
and its keeping me awake at night
a devil in the closet
and a feeling Id prefer to hide
he is religion
he wont hear me when I cry for help
he has a vision of me
but I am somebody else
we talk the pillow
there are times when Im tied up to the fence
only talking sense
theres a mirror lake before me
but Im frozen when its time to jump
Its like maybe Im afraid of what Ill find
when independence comes
you steel my shadow
you make my blood run dry
we are true only when we talk the pillow
there are times when Im tied up to the fence
only talking sense
did you suffer as a child
thats why you want to make me cry
you are afraid of me
thats why youre so unkind
you wont deny it
when your child is tied up to the fence
and Im only talking sense
lonely when we talk the pillow
and your child is messed up in the head
Im only talking sense
