These programmed feelings
leave you reeling
But you are not the cause no
This out-of-fashion
lack of passion
Has dignified what was
This self-protection stalls rejection
And leaves you looking strong
This piece of theatre
keeps things neater
Pretending nothing’s wrong
Healing comes too slow
these days
I long to see you whole
Freedom’s cornered in this maze
Until you lose control
I see you waiting
All hope fading
Of hearing his applause
But you’re not hearing
someone cheering
Who’s seeing
through your flaws
Healing comes too slow
these days
I long to see you whole
Freedom’s cornered in this maze
Until you lose control
This cold front
has made you shiver
The chill has numbed you
to your core
How come How long
Healing comes too slow
these days
I long to see you whole
Freedom’s cornered in this maze
Until you lose control control
