Screaming off the Cliff

State That I'm In

Hide me behind long hair and long jumpers,
Bury me under my blood and my sin.
Please, never wake me up from this slumber
Because I don't want to know the state that I'm in.

Trap me behind bars and keep me asunder
from beauty. I'll only taint it with scarred skin.
I'm no child anymore - I hold none of that wonder,
And I don't want to know the state that I'm in.

Keep me held under dangerous thunder,
My protection against you is only so thin.
Put me out into the wild and I will just blunder.
Please! I don't want to know the state that I'm in.

Give me the land if you want me to pillage and plunder -
Give me everything that you want thrown into the bin.
Give me a blanket that I can just crawl under
To hide from the horrible state that I'm in.
