From the recording Form Over Dysfunction

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes the past comes tumbling back to me
Changing my perspective
Making it hard to see
Sometimes I can still feel her arms around me
She’s got me in a choke hold and I’m crying for some release
Verse 2
Give me hope
Give me shelter from the pain inside my head
but I don’t need your dead presidents
I need your love Instead
Chorus 1
But she truly believes that what she’s doing is right
to help me through the night
and that’s all that she sees
Verse 2
Traditions handed down
Continuing the line
Reactionary love and anger
The same story every time
Chorus 2
But she truly believes that what she’s doing is right
to help me through the night
and that’s all that she sees
Bridge
Fear and paranoia
That’s a glimpse inside her head
but it’s not hate I feel for her
but pity and love instead
Verse 3
Another scotch and soda
another shift in her mood
always assuming she’s right
assuming she’s understood
Chorus 3
But she truly believes that what she’s doing is right
to help me through the night
and that’s all that she sees
