Unwell
by Matchbox TwentyAll day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethingHold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...meI'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind[Chorus]

One part of me wants to tell you everything,
one part just needs the quiet.
And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here,
and on the telephone you offer reassurance.I will not take these things for granted.
How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry? It needs a strength I haven't found.
But if it's frightening, I'll bear the cold,
and on the telephone you offer warm asylum.I'm listening;
flowers in the garden,
laughter in the hall,
children in the park.I will not take these things for granted, anymore.
To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me. To feel this accepting.
That it is lonely here, but not alone, and on the telephone, you offer visions dancing.I'm listening;
music in the bedroom,
laughter in the hall,
dive into the ocean,
singing by the fire,
running throught the forest,
and standing in the wind, in rolling canyons.I will not take these things for granted. I will not take these things for granted, anymore.

You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away...

my i.q., ani difranco
when i was four years old
they tried to test my i.q.
they showed me a picture
of 3 oranges and a pear
they said,
which one is different?
it does not belong
they taught me different is wrong
but when i was 13 years old
i woke up one morning
thighs covered in blood
like a war
like a warning
that i live in a breakable takeable body
an ever increasingly valuable body
that a woman had come in the night to replace me
deface me
see,
my body is borrowed
yeah, i got it on loan
for the time in between my mom and some maggots
i don't need anyone to hold me
i can hold my own
i got highways for stretchmarks
see where i've grown
i sing sometimes
like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
as the noises you make
i'm learning to laugh as hard
as i can listen
'cause silence
is violence
in women and poor people
if more people were screaming then i could relax
but a good brain ain't diddley
if you don't have the facts
we live in a breakable takeable world
an ever available possible world
and we can make music
like we can make do
genius is in a back beat
backseat to nothing if you're dancing
especially something stupid
like i.q.
for every lie i unlearn
i learn something new
i sing sometimes for the war that i fight
'cause every tool is a weapon -
if you hold it right.

Tina!! This VERY morning, I heard that song on the radio and decided I like it too and was going to mention it here!! I think I had heard a fragment of it once before but this morning was the first time I heard it all the way through and listened to the lyrics. I turned the volume up as I drove to work and really liked it!
