Self Portrait — текст песни (Ellis Paul)

I tried to frame my own self portrait

Into a three-minute one-act play

But Im a carnival of voices

Its hard to pin me down that way

Without my subconscious saying



"im not in love with you,

But Id be willing to make a change.

Its these profound fits of sunshine

That bring on subsequently rain."



"if I could make a suggestion -"

I say, `oh, this should be nice

"the middle ground is partly sunny,

Now take my good advice,

Nobodys out here throwing rice yet

But me and the voices inside of your head

All agree..."



And I say, `since were all here talking -

You think Im afraid of you?

Well, Im afraid I think youre right...

Ive never been good at crowd control

Your voices keep me up all night `now, Im no psychiatrist

Though Im known for freudian slips

Id like to thank my Id and ego

For the roller coaster trip

And if my memory will permit me

Id like to remember to keep you voices

Out of my head...
