From the album: Hunter, Hunter

Lyrics:

hello it's me the mistress

is there anybody home?

cuz the last place I should be is sittin' here alone

all I ask for is forgiveness

if you've got some give it here

you don't act much like you need it

you don't look much like you care

and will you need me in the summer?

will you need me in the spring?

I believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin

I've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins

and its dragging me around among the needles and the pins

and I dont need to take a breather

I'm on the outside looking out

yeah, I don't need to see your papers

cuz I know what you're about

you had me by the bible and you had me by the belt

and you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt

and then you praise me for my inspiration

asked me for an explanation

followed up with hesitation

fit my primal expectation

I don't care but I don't mind

you can call me any time

you can holler through the fortress

and kick me out of line

I don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head

I like suspended disbelief

I like to spend the day in bed

I like to spend the nights in heaven

hanging with the dead

you know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head

I've got my eyes upon the mirror

I've got my hands up in the air

I confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year

you know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would

but there's a war between the parts of me

the evil and the good

and you try and stop me i'm on fire

it doesn't look that way

you know, I used to be a liar

but living's set me straight

I don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else

we keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf

and nobody asks for my opinion because you dont want to hear

I swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear

and you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear

of a probable solution of why the devil put me here

and now no judgement call will kill me

just makes me close my eyes

and I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind

where I'd love to introduce you

if you found a way inside

you could sell me retribution and totally demystify

until i wonder how I got here

until I don't know who to be

is it better to be grounded?

is it better to be free?

am I better off without you?

am I happier alone?

hello, its me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?
