From the recording Haunted
Lyrics
All I Want
I don't want any confrontation
I don’t want to make any scene
I don't want any kind of trouble
I don’t want you messing with me
You can say
That I look suspicious
You can say
I’m causing alarm
All you want is an altercation
What are you doing
Let go of my arm
You yell and scream
Conflicting orders
I better obey
I can’t even try
To get any kind of explanation
All I want is to understand why
You knock me down
You scream don’t move
You hit me hard
You do your best
To make me jump
out of self preservation
Then justify
What happens next
You push a nerve maybe bend a finger
You make me squirm like a worm on a hook
I can’t hold still no matter how hard I try
Then I move now it is all in your book
Another day
Another story is written
Another name
Appears on the page
Another loss
Of one persons freedom
Something that was
Has now gone away
I don't want any confrontation
I don’t want to make any scene
I don't want any kind of trouble
I don’t want you messing with me
I don’t want you messing with me
I don’t need you messing with me
