Lyrics
We are not our thoughts
How we choose to act says who we are
But we can still have our fantasies
Would you like to hear about my fantasies?
Check this shit out
The secret garden of a woman's mind
Seductive fire held inside
Quiet allure, gentle grace
A soft smile, the only trace
I take your hand and let you see
The sublime vista of my mystery
It's a fantasy graveyard full of the dead
The enemies I murdered inside of my head
Restraint, holding it in
Restraint, pushing it down
Restraint, I'm acting fine
But I'm killing people inside of my mind
Restraint, holding it in
Restraint pushing it down
Restraint Restraint
I imagine them all their own penalties
Like this grave here, this man stole from me
Nothing ever came from me calling the cops
But in my mind I broke his neck and I shat in his mouth
She lied about having cancer
Online I blocked her in my mind I said
Here's a donation to your crowdfunding campaign
And I donated two bullets into her brain
Him? He cut me off in traffic. Fuck that guy
He made me swerve and skid
So in my mind, I flayed off all his skin and I sent it to his kid
Restraint. I want it so bad
Restraint. But I cannot have
Restraint. Stab, stab, a stab-a-dee-dee
Come along and do some murdering with me
Restraint. Are you holding it in?
Restraint. Are you pushing it down?
Restraint. Restraint
Now we're having a good time
Some light hearted laughs
But now the song is about to get a little bit dark
I didn't think you'd be this beautiful, he says
Ten seconds after we first met, he rubs my hips as I move away
But disengaging makes him mad at me
When he seems less drunk, I calmly explain
That sensually rubbing someone's hips that way
Is not the friendly gesture that he thinks it is
And not something he does to male comedians
I lay it all out in basic terms
He writhes with guilt, he struggles to learn
He apologizes, says he understands
As he grabs me, so he can kiss my hand
Restraint. Don't murder that man
Don't put his bloody body in a garbage can
Restraint. Meet people where they're at
Don't grind up their bones to put in your plants
Police your tone don't thing about poisoning him
So he dies all alone
Restraint. Do not stab that clown
Unless maybe there aren't any witnesses around?
Restraint. If there no one to see... no
Violence cruelty and vengeance
These solutions aren't conscientious
I do deep breathing, acknowledge my feelings
And choose peace like an enlightened being
Anger can express through thoughtful words
Peace in expression and being heard
But in my mind, I'll chop off your dick if you test me
'Cause in my mind they cannot arrest me
Restraint!
Violence is just retaliation
Restraint!
Justice for peace and cessation
Restraint!
Vengeance, the myth of satiation
Restraint!
Restraint! Restraint! Restraint! Restraint!
Restraint
Oh, I just shit myself
Namaste
