Thank You

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics?

How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up?

How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots?

How 'bout that ever elusive kudo?

Thank you, India

Thank you, terror

Thank you, disillusionment

Thank you, frailty

Thank you, consequence

Thank you, thank you, silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything?

How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once?

How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you?

How 'bout grieving it all one at a time?

Thank you, India

Thank you, terror

Thank you, disillusionment

Thank you, frailty

Thank you, consequence

Thank you, thank you, silence

The moment I let go of it

Was the moment I got more than I could handle

The moment I jumped off of it

Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic?

How 'bout remembering your divinity?

How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out?

How 'bout not equating death with stopping?

Thank you, India

Thank you, providence

Thank you, disillusionment

Thank you, nothingness

Thank you, clarity

Thank you, thank you, silence

Yeah, yeah

Oh, oh

Ohh...

Thank You
