Arthur Beatrice - Midland

all I want is to be
warm and home
and well known
all I need is to be
i’ll give it me all
i am entitled it now
and i've worked hard
deserve it full well
purge me now
cleanse my skull
from all the things
that i have been told
i know my faults
here take my pulse
it finds no time or place
oh bother me not
i’d rather have hush
than this game of perhaps
the tearful name of collapse
i'll never move
i'll never move
i'll always be so still
my only goal is that it shows
for being young and thrilled
i’ll never grow
i'll never grow
as tall and fierce as me
keep in mind
i’m called unkind
for doing what i feel
i'll never move
i'll never move
i'll always be so still
i'll never grow
i'll never grow
to be so damned and wounded
