It’s so easy to put me in a box
And label the box
He’s this or he’s that
It’s just so easy
To simply sum me up
And squirrel me away like a pack rat
It takes some work to know me
And you don’t know me at all
It takes some work to know me
You don’t wanna see behind the wall
You wanna tell me who I am
And who I am
Fits with what you want me to be
It’s more convenient
It ticks all your blanks
It’s all so very neat and tidy
It takes some work to know me
And you don’t know me at all
It takes some work to know me
You don’t wanna see behind the wall
And you don’t me, no
You don’t know me
I tell you that I’m swamped with my feelings
And those feelings
Seem to swallow me whole
It may seem that I’m out of my mind
But its just that this old world
Has taken its toll
