I Don't Want It Now

All that baggage you hold on your shoulders

Has to hurt after a while

You say it's gonna happen to ya

Life goes through ya

I don't care how sweet you smile

I'd say you just took the path

That was the easiest to choose

And you looked me in the eyes

And say, "Oh yes, that's very you."

But that's just your way of brushing off of friends

Go ahead

Have your bitter pills but take them on your own

Your ears are just the entrance point it ends up in your bones

And I don't want it now

You don't know where all this goes

If death is waiting, why all the delay?

We both have different problems

But it seems to me we got them the same way

You never took from no one

Only wanted just to give

Like that book of notes

That you can't put down long enough to live

This waiting game is always won

In overtime if you don't…

Have your bitter pills but take them on your own

Your ears are just the entrance point it ends up in your bones

And I don't want it now

I don't want it

I can't use it

You can't use it

You're an open book

I'll see you around like a compass

Every which way I look

And that taste of milk that's curdled

And the fish it's gone to rot

And the smell of good cigars

And a cheap Jamaican pot

And the faint sound of the train that's too far gone

So go ahead…

Have your bitter pills but take them on your own

Your ears are just the entrance point it ends up in your bones

I don't want it

Have your bitter pills and give it to the beast

And you'll bark even louder and that's what you need the least

And I could howl alone

'Cause I know how to howl

And that was what I wanted once

But I don't want it now
