Lyrics Denial - Mannequin Pussy

Denial

At night, sometimes my thoughts collide
My body shakes
I feel so separated from what I thought I’d be and what I am
Is there nothing I can do
To make it up to them to make it up
Or does time just separate me?
I want to feel the earth, its crushingness
As it wraps around my neck
I’ve been feeling lately like I need to be alone
You’ve been thinking much too deeply about how to atone
When I close my eyes I’m never really by myself
All the strangers that adore me put me on a shelf
Pick yourself up, baby
Everything’s gonna be fine
But if not, so what?
You’ll get it the next time
You should stop getting down on yourself every day
It’s ok to fall apart when you feel so crazy
I’ve been feeling lately like I need to be alone
You’ve been thinking much too deeply about how to atone
When I close my eyes I’m never really by myself
All the strangers that adore me put me on a shelf
