[Verse 1]
My irrationality is like a nationality
I'd rather bear its flag I know
And of my sensitives, yes some have taken liberties
But they are everything I know
And challenge all your empathy
Let's move it out at glacial speed
I'm running on persistence
And 'Give it just a little time'
Is always the familiar line
So you have my resistance
[Chorus]
And I will not illuminate your words
I will persevere until it hurts
And give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world
[Verse 2]
Walked me through the garden where the weeds were growing everywhere
And running off their mouths
Who was it that watered you that once were sons and daughters too?
So I can understand how you all came about
[Chorus]
I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
And give myself up all just to be heard
I would not presume to hate the world
[Chorus]
Oh I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
Oh give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world
