insist

The one who you say is your lover

Who you insist takes care of you under the covers

And who is there for you and loves you like no other

I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice

When they insist on knowing my bliss

I tell them this

And you're up to save the world

Misery, you insist that the weight of the world

Should be on your shoulders

I was walking with a ghost

I said, "Please, please don't insist"

I was walking with a ghost

Don't understand it, blood on your hands

And still you insist on repeatedly trying to tell me lies

And I just don't know why, oh

Never trusted anyone, let alone myself

I must insist on being a pessimist

I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

You won't realize 'til it's too late

Don't understand why you insist

On ways of living such a dangerous life

The sunrise insists on gladness

But how can I be glad now my flower is dead

He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost

He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost

Warms an old implacable heart such as mine

Don't say no because I insist

Somewhere, somehow
