“Among The Feathers”

She’s got me right where she wants me

I’m the number dialed out of necessity

Keeping me just close enough for comfort

I become zombified as I continue forward

Yet

Those thoughts creep back into my head

And throw me right back to the ground

Where I started

But I won’t

(No, no I won’t)

I won’t let myself be so weak this time

She’s got me right where she wants me

(She’s got me right where she needs me)

I’m the number dialed out of necessity

(The number much less dialed out of desire)

Keeping me just close enough for comfort

(She keeps me just far enough away)

I become zombified as I continue forward

(Reaching out as slowly move toward the sunlight)

As if I were hungering for the next day of my life

But I won’t!

(No, no I won’t)

I won’t let myself be so weak this time!

I call out to myself in the mirror

I will face you!

I've got to throw this away

I've got to look away

For I know that

Oh precious, you do exist somewhere

Above the horizon and over those rolling hills

This is not you, this is not meant for me

I have to become who I want to be

Before I can let you see

I send my love from across time

Know that I am being strong for you

She’s got me right where she wants me

I’m the number dialed out of necessity

Keeping me just close enough for comfort

I become zombified as I continue forward

I call out to myself in the mirror

(I send my love from across time)

I will face you!

(Know that I am being strong for you)

I call out to myself in the mirror

(I send my love from across time)

I will face you!

(Know that I am being strong for you)

I won’t let myself be so weak this time!

I am not weak

I will not break

I am not weak

I will not break!
