Grey Matter

I hate you, I love you

Leave, please don't go away

Can't decide if I like your face

Or if I wish it would stray

You're a child but you're malicious

You're sweet but don't remember my name

And heads you win and tails I'm lost

And love equals pain

I am drifting without an anchor

Through your ambiguous region

A strange continent immune to all reason

And I'm flattered by your grey matter

Inside my skin, I feel your tongue

Telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones

A surge against silence, a knife across a plate

Makes the sound of need on hate

I am drifting without an anchor

Through your ambiguous region

A strange continent immune to all reason

And I'm flattered by your grey matter

And I do not understand why a woman can't just love a man

You're amusing you're a real cool show

With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival

You got glitter in your pocket

You got mothballs in your soul

From too many false teeth and greasy flash bulbs

I am drifting without an anchor

Through your ambiguous region

A strange continent immune to all reason

And I'm flattered by your grey matter

I love you

I hate you
