Secret Curse - The Dismemberment Plan

Secret Curse

Anonymous hex on flavorless food and terrible sex

A day of no rhythm a night of no rest

And I do not know what sin I have not confessed

Secret Curse

Terrible blight I’m deafened by sound and blinded by light

Caught when I flee and beat when I fight and I’m cocky when wrong

And timid when right and I don’t know what crimes have yet to come to light

But it’s getting worse

Indelible mark, tired at noon, wired at dark

A terrible bite, but never a bark, I don’t know what else I can do

I don’t know who you are… please, I’m sorry

Secret Curse

Unwashable stain, ugly when bold, boring when plain

Stricken with pleasure and taken with pain

And I’m nervous and lost and I can not refrain

Secret Curse

Unsingable song, melody weird, getting it wrong

Pussy when tender and brutal when strong

And I’m losing my friends as we’re getting along

And I really do try to run that fast and long but it gets there first

Invisible eye, sad if I laugh, mad if I cry

Screwed if I live, screwed if I die

I try and I try and I don’t know what else I can do
