Ode to Accepting Criticism (A/C)

V1/
Lost in love, with no direction.
But out of time we find ourselves.
And I’m so tired of looking through the cracks my fingers leave.
I want a normal life like everybody else.

PreChorus/
Why’s it so hard to understand exactly how I feel?
Weren’t you the one who told me anything was possible, and possibly real?
Stuck in another case of mistaken identity.
But it’s only to me. Only to me.

V2/
Paint a face. If it suits your mood.
But leave the frame. Boundaries bring me down.
Is it too much for you to paint my finger pointing to the sky?
And you can hang it upside-down now when I die.

PreChorus/

Chorus/
Only, only, only, only, only to me.

PreChorus/

Chorus/

Bridge/
I never kissed belladonna lips and lived to walk away.
But I feel that today could be another one of those unlucky days.
When you hold Merrick’s mirror who’s the animal that you see?
You’ll find another undercover is turning to a lover.
Another undercover is turning to a lover.
Another undercover is turning to a lover. Another. Another. Another. Another.

Chorus/
