Break - Alanis Morissette

Indeed I have sucked it up to heights

Unknown to those outside

My body has contained and suppressed

And swallowed and abetted

Oh, I am a stranger to myself

Beneath altruism dwells

A force uncontended

A voice that is tempered

To boiled and unhindered

Who am I kidding?

I am not some Mother Theresa

If I don’t say something soon

I will break from the weight of the high road I take

No

Indeed I need my chance to fail

Some room to unravel

I need a chance to blame for two minutes

Unbridled, unbrazened

So I need imaginings of maiming

Fantasies of outright screaming

I need a chance to thrash for minutes

Uncontained, unforgiving

Who am I kidding?

I am not some Mother Theresa

If I don’t do something soon

I will die from restraint

As a sick subjugate

No

I will move beyond, I’m certain of that

The sooner I go the quicker I’ll be back

I would not threaten or cause you any harm

Have to get this out or my light will go out

Who am I kidding?

I am not some Mother Theresa

If I don’t do something soon

I will die from restraint

As a sick subjugate

No
