pearl jam 01 release, corduroy Lyrics

release

I see the world
feel the truth
which way to go
windowsill
i see the words
on a rocking horse of time
i see the birds in the rain
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll ride the wave
where it takes me
i'll hold the pain
release me
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll wait up in the dark
for you to speak to me
i'll open up
release me
release me
release me
release me

corduroy

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and i'm a mess
i take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head
i don't want to take what you can give...
i would rather starve than eat your bread...
i would rather run but i can't walk...
guess i'll lie alone just like before...
i'll take the firmest path...oh and i must refuse your test
a push me and i will resist...this behavior's not unique
i don't want to hear from those who know...
they can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
i don't want to limp for them to walk...
never would have known of me before...
i don't want to be held in your debt...
and i'll pay it off in blood, let i be wed...
and i'm already cut up and half dead...
i'll end up alone like i began...
everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed
take my hand, light my picture, still my teacher
i don't want to take what you can give...
i would rather starve than eat your breast...
all the things that others want for me...
can't buy what i want because it's free... (2x)
can't be what you want because i'm...
i ain't s'posed to be just fun
oh, to live and die, let it be done
i figure i'll be d___ed, all alone like i began...
it's your move now...
i thought you were a friend, but i guess i, i guess i hate you...
