Alternative

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

Swallow my doubt turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'1

Want to put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet2, chalk white and oh so frail

I see our time has gotten stale

The tick tock of the clock is painful

All sane and logical, I want to tear it off the wall

I hear words and clips and phrases

I think sick like ginger ale3

My stomach turns and I exhale

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Want to put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous then I'm through with you

So Cal is where my mind states4

But it's not my state of mind5

I'm not as ugly sad as you

Or am I origami6, folded up and just pretend

Demented as the motives in your head?

Inside Out

Written by: Max Collins

Year: 1998

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Want to put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I alone am the one you don't know

You need take heed, feed your ego

Make me blind when your eyes close

Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost

I alone am the one you don't know

You need, you don't know you need me

Make me blind when your eyes close

Tie me to the bed post

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

Swallow my doubt turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Want to put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous then I'm through, now I'm through with you

Through with you

Rendezvous then I'm through with you
