Receiving Transmission - Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Lyrics

You stay here, Maria
I'll just take a look at my traps
Then we'll go to the village and have a grand time, huh
Don't be long, Daddy

Oh, no
I'll be back soon
Daddy, won't you stay and play with me a little while
Too busy, darling

You stay and play with the kitty, huh
Bye, Daddy
Bye

It's time I give you a test
One of my very best
Soon you'll see that the drums are my voice
And my mind's the key
Well, I guess my piano was my voice
Till you played my heart like strings

Yet the drums are what rings
And my mind's the keys
So I guess the piano's my voice
And my heart's strings
Cause my heart, it always sings
So I give you the choice
Listen, if you will to
The noises, voices, consequences of our choices

So, you see, when things really start
Is when you add in passion and heart
Oh it's by design
All through art
Two hearts
Will always intertwine

Why can't you see
Why can't you and I agree

I hope you find a home in my pieces and I in you
Cause you see when you listen to me
I live in you
Cause you see when you listen to me
The music
It becomes a part of you

I want you to know
I'm doin better now
I'm on my own
Didn't need your guidance into the dark
Even though I was a bright and shining star
You never got me very far
Practically left me back in the car

I want you to know
I'm doin better now
Without you

I'm trying to help you
If only you would listen
I'm trying to help you
If only you would listen
I'm trying to help you
If only you would listen

You claim that you've committed no crime
And yet you maintain quite the pantomime
You say it's all one big lie
And yet I'm sure you've wished you had already died

Oh, it's by your design
This is what happens when you only have fair-weather friends in mind
But, that's fine
I'll leave you in your hell if you leave me in mine

I'll leave you in mind
I'll leave you behind
If you leave me in mind
Please, I'm trying to help you
