Hang Up

There's a knot in my stomach
and it wont go away
i want you off the line.

i don't want to talk to you now.
i know thats a first.
I'm nervous, scared
afraid that I'll give myself away
i want to stay safe in my chains
thank you very much

they're fresh you know,
they'll protect me.
i still haven't forgotten what you did
to me.
to my friends.

and...yours.

i don't like your friends
they annoy me on many levels
you're becoming like them
thats unfortunate, sure.
but I'm not sure i care

its nice not to care
I'm feeling sort of whole.

you're boring me.
thats a first.
never happened before.
I've always wanted so badly to amuse you.
i wanted never to hang up.
and when we did, I'd wait with bated breath
till the phone rang again
and your name showed up on the caller ID

i suppose you were a false sense of security.
and i didn't know any better.

now i know enough to see that I'm tired of the 'false'
I'm done with the game,
it was fun at the beginning.
then addictive toward the middle.
and now....tiring at the end.

when you grow up,
let me know.
we'll try again.

hang up, my dear.
i do not wish to talk to you now.
you're making me nervous.
i don't want you to steal my heart.
i finally got it back,
came to my senses,
protected it with a fortress of fire and thorns.

this insanity is getting to me
this empty silence.
broken by your chuckling.
by my singing.

thats enough.
I'm finished for the night.
a tad stronger.
thanks again,
I'll let you go.
hang up now.

put me at ease.
I'm safe for the night.
