All I Really Want

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate

I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it

There I go jumping before
The gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler

And it would knock me to the floor
If I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want
Is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice

And all I really want
Is deliverance
Oh oh oh oh

Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless
And all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary

I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in
And then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy

And I am frightened by
The corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated
By the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature

What I wouldn't give
To find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift

And what I wouldn't give
To meet a kindred
Oh oh oh oh

Enough about me
Let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you
Let's talk about life for a while

The conflicts
The craziness
And the sound of pretenses falling
All around, all around

Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this

Did you think about your bills
Your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction

And all I need now
Is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper

And I have no concept of time
Other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want
Is some peace man
A place to find a common ground

And all I really want
Is a wavelength
Oh oh oh oh

All I really want
Is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied

And all I really want
Is some justice
Oh oh oh oh

And all I really want
