Only Talking Sense

There's a wild thing in the wool shed and it's keeping me awake at night

A devil in the closet and a feeling I'd prefer to hide

He is religion, he won't hear me when I cry for help

He has a vision of me but I am somebody else



We talk the pillow

There are times when I'm tied up to the fence

Only talking sense



There's a mirror lake before me but I'm frozen when it's time to jump

It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find

When independence comes

You steel my shadow, you make my blood run dry



We are true only when we talk the pillow

There are times when I'm tied up to the fence

Only talking sense



Did you suffer like a child

That's why you want to make me cry

You are afraid of me

That's why you're so unkind



You won't deny it when your child is tied up to the fence

And I'm only talking sense

Lonely when we talk the pillow

And your child is messed up in the head, I'm only talking sense
