commit

I'm torn away inside

torn away, torn away, 

somebody pushed me in my peripheral


i cannot commit

i will not commit


to you,

the only me that never was


i am afraid

of change


oh, Macbeth


oh, MACBETH!


LIFT YOUR CHIN

TO LOOK UP


hunger

overwhelms me


hunger for an empty soul 

hunger for an empty body


please, take mine

please, take mine


it's corrupt

and I'm compromised


i am afraid to reveal to you

what this problem of mine is


but i think it lays underneath the bridge between your heart and mine


and i curtsy to mark the end of my performance 


of self-sabotage
