Self Portrait Lyrics by Ellis Paul

Self Portrait Lyrics

    I tried to frame my own self portrait
    Into a three-minute one-act play
    But i'm a carnival of voices
    It's hard to pin me down that way
    Without my subconscious saying

    "i'm not in love with you,
    But i'd be willing to make a change.
    It's these profound fits of sunshine
    That bring on subsequently rain."

    "if i could make a suggestion -"
    I say, `oh, this should be nice'
    "the middle ground is partly sunny,
    Now take my good advice,
    Nobody's out here throwing rice yet
    But me and the voices inside of your head
    All agree..."

    And i say, `since we're all here talking -
    You think i'm afraid of you?
    Well, i'm afraid i think you're right...
    I've never been good at crowd control
    Your voices keep me up all night' `now, i'm no psychiatrist
    Though i'm known for freudian slips
    I'd like to thank my id and ego
    For the roller coaster trip
    And if my memory will permit me
    I'd like to remember to keep you voices
    Out of my head...'
