I Don't Belong

about

So, a drummer I jammed with (Jeff Barrow) sold his house and found these tracks in his attic. When he showed me the CD with the tracks written on it, I realized I had never shared them with the world. To be honest, I don't remember every one I recorded with or who the songs were about. This is one of those songs, and I knew I wanted to share it with the world. At the time I had a LOT of issues causing memory lapse from dealing with a stalker, to money issues, relationship drama, you name it! But now, the coast is clear and we can dance to the melodies together. Here we go!

lyrics

When I sing you a song, I gotta be brave, pick apart which words belong, gotta get out
Of this ground, the grave where's the sun, where's the sprout sprung?

I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul
I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul

Just a little bit, little bits of bitterness, rippin' up my clitoris, zippin' up my womb
Soundproofin' her room for her melody, the melody inside her, never will subside, always
Has resided, and besides, we need her, always singin', if our race continues springin' into life
Clingin' like strawberry jelly, mango pineapple lemony, I won't allow the memory to demonize my mammary
Raspberry jam, gooey peanut butter celery, if you eat my thoughts up, I won't wanna rot my guts up,

I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul
I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul
Little bits of bitterness, rippin' up my clitoris

An alarm goes off in my soul, ding ding, got a thing to tell, you gotta speak, gotta teach through example
Here is just a sample of my angry thoughts that I bought for a penny, now I'm petty, now I'm bought.

Where is my soul, What are they doing with my soul?

I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul
I don't belong, I don't belong, where is my place, can you just taste my soul

Maybe I'm a teacher, maybe I should just sit up on a bleacher, cheering from the stands
No one understands, reaching for the top do a belly flop, just for a thrill, can'y pay the bill.

Now, how can I be leading if I'm pleading for intention, that's intendedfor a mention
Of a heartbeat in my tension
Tenderizing grief, circle all around my beef, it doesn't belong, it doesn't belong,

I don't belong

What the eff is wrong
It's like I don't belong, singing the same old song,
Hope I last long before this game's all gone,
Got played like a pawn,
Just a game of chess, dealing with this mess,
My life is just a test till I put my head to rest,
In peace, wanna live in peace, first I gotta kill the beast that's trying to steal my feast,
Yeah we all gotta eat, so sick and tired of catching bullets with my teeth.
Even Superman gotta cheat on these streets, even Superman gotta cheat on the streets.

It was rape, I escaped, dare not mention wish I had more detention,
I'd be cool enough for ascension, in the human race, where there's place for the mess up,
I play dress up, to escape your labels on my labula, I drink globulas of
L-acidophilus, philosophers inebriate us as the lead us through the darkness,
I'm not asking for attention, just a tape of the record, so you know, so I know,
I can feel, I can heal, all my guilt's in a wrecker.

Play the checker board; each square, don't you dare
Jump my queen, I am green, all I want is to be seen, not bowed down to
Into, onto, let's jump out of the machine!

I'm just a song, I'm just my song.
It always changes like my underwear, underwear I don't always wear, my song,
I sing my song right now, cause I'll never wear your underwear
Could never sing your song, don't stare, our songs, our songs don't change, just rearrange
Themselves in different notes, still our souls are kept afloat, our songs, they don't
Belong, belong, in a world of active cultured greed, what is it that you all need?

What is it that you all need

Besides lust and greed
