Crash and Pull Away

from Mind Searching For Me? by Kaeru Dawn

/

lyrics

I know that I'm in control
I know that I'm powerful
I know that it's up to me
Then why do I make these choices?
Why do I make these choices?
What is it that tantalises me to play in the shadows and live life for free
What is it that compels me to make the same mistakes again and again

I must be crazy
I must be nuts
I must be insane
I must not know what's what

But I just strut
I just strut

But look at the way you walk sometimes, it doesn't match the way you talk sometimes
Look at the way you walk sometimes, it doesn't match the way you walk sometimes
Look at yourself, look at yourself
Look at the choices that you made
Look at yourself, look at yourself
Look at the way that you behave
I know you don't want to but you got to face it
I know you don't want to but you got to embrace it
I know you don't want to - but it's part of you
Do you want to let go of that part and make room for another part?
Or do you just want to hold on to it until it's so big that it doesn't fit
Do you just want to hold on to it, just hold on to it.

But what are you holding on to, it is hurting you
And I hate to see you hurting, I hate it so much
I hate to see you hurting, I just want to touch you
and make you feel good
and make you feel pretty
and make you feel alive
Alive

And I don't want to put you in the naughty corner cause I know it's not your fault
I see that you do the best you can to do just what you're told
But you are told so many things, where do you begin?
You are told so many things, oh where oh where oh where to begin..
And what if some of those things contradict each other?
What if some of those things don't make sense?
What if those things are dangerous, what if those things will hurt you
Would you do them anyway just because they told you to

Would you jump off of that cliff, just because I did?
Would you jump off that cliff, just because I did tell you that you have to.
Oh I told you that you have to.
When I told you that you have to, I didn't really mean it
I didn't really mean it

You are free to do what you want to do
Do as thou wilt shall be the law
Do as thou wilt shall be the law that you abide by
That you abide by

And you can have whatever you want now as long as it doesn't hurt others
But don't listen to me. No don't listen to me.

Just listen to the wind

And the birds when they sing
And the crickets chirping
And the sound of the waves as they crash and pull away

And the sound of the waves as they Crash and Pull Away
