Hello it’s me the mistress, is there anybody home?
‘cause the last place I should be is sitting here alone.
All I ask for is forgiveness, if you’ve got some give it here
You don’t act much like you need it, you don’t look much like you care

Will you need me in the summer, need me in the spring?
I believe my life is ending don’t know much where to begin
I’ve got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins
And it’s dragging me around among the needles and the pins

And I don’t need to take a breather, I’m on the outside looking out
I don’t need to see your papers ‘cause I know what you’re about
You had me by the bible and you had me by the belt
You had me from the instant my cold love began to melt

You praise me for my inspiration
Ask me for an explanation
Wallowed up with hesitation
Fit my primal expectation

I don’t care, but I don’t mind
You can call me anytime
You can hollow through the fortress
You can kick me out of line

I don’t expect it from the grief that gathers in my head
I like to suspend disbelief
I like to spend the day in bed
I like to spend the nights in heaven hangin’ with the dead
With Judas and his women and the voices in my head

I’ve got my eyes up on the mirror
My hands up in the air
I confess to my distress yeah I get crazier each year
I would change it if I could, yeah I like to say that I would
But there’s a war between the parts of me
The evil, and the good

And you try and stop me I’m on fire
Though it doesn’t look that way
You know I used to be a liar and living set me straight

I don’t come with no disclaimer I’m like every body else
We keep our daemons on the burner
And our morals on the shelf

And nobody asks for my opinion
Just because you don’t want to hear it
I swear I’m only human wishing I could disappear
You must think that it’s an illusion that I like to live in fear
Of the probable solution - why the devil put me here

And now no judgement call would kill me
Just makes me close my eyes
And I sink into the slumber, into the prison of my mind
Where I love to introduce you if you found a way inside
You could sell me retribution totally demystified

I wonder how I got here until I don’t know who to be
Is it better to be grounded? Better to be free?
Am I better off without you am I better off alone?
Hello it’s me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?
