lyrics

What is it about me What is it about me Seem like OCD
What is it that I sweat the small stuff
continuously

Now here I'm supposed to be this real modern day hippieish chick
Preachin let it go let it flow don't hang onto shit
But I tug and I pull and I clutch and I grapple and I wrestle with life's
perplexities

When I mess up, imagine to have
or see that mountain rather than molehill it doesn’t matter
there’s no free will I’m never through
any slight mortification will do
Can’t seem to change that point of view
Find myself probing the wound repeatedly 8X
even though I know I should stop let it heal or rue
the time wasted endlessly

Why not let loose
It's the thing to do
Why not let it lie
why insist incessantly
Gnawing on that bone
just breaking it into splinters in my teeth
Gnawing on it alone
Down to the marrow
even in even in my even in my sleep

grind grind grind
down to powder
down to dust
gnash gnash gnash
taking hours
as if I must

as if compelled held in a spell
it’s all ground down
shame running deep
there’s no one around
try not to weep
and though I disapprove in theory
in practice every time or nearly
unable to stop for a minute
knowing I need to cease and desist
if I want that acquit

Relishing reliving
the exquisite torture of retrospect
leads mostly to the uttering of an epithet
or five
or six
But wait
Listen
Hear it in the mix
now I can quit
