In Smithereens, the Search for Affinity

on The Confiscation EP - A Musical Novella by Samantha Crain (2008)

What is it exactly you want from me?
An arm, a leg, my own two feet?
Should I beg for a hit in the head
From your hammer made of sledge?

You can't live with an obsession
So I have an idea
Let's make love until it's true
Or becomes hatred
And I don't really care if you call me another name
Truth is, I like it about the same
The same, the same

I'm pulling coins from my sock to buy you a drink
'Cause you only hold me when you're not thinking
I know that doesn't say much for me
But I'm one step away from talking to myself

Am I to feel bad about it?
Am I to feel bad about it?
I'm to feel bad about it
I'm to feel bad about it
I'm to feel bad about it

I won't say I'm needy but I won't say I'm fine
Not a median of sorts, or a tie that binds
So can't we just be two troubled souls in need?
And nothing more to speak of, to speak of
