Jezebel

Текст песни 10000 Maniacs - Jezebel <br/> To think of my task is chilling. To know I was carefully building the<br />Mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it off. I've sat<br />In<br />The dark explaining to myself that I'm straining too hard for feelings<br />I<br />Ought to find easily. Called myself Jezebel. I don't believe.<br />Before I say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.<br />Family is family, don't let this tear us apart.<br />( )<br />You lie there, an innocent baby. I feel like the thief who is raiding<br />Your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room. I know your<br />Feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow. But I'm<br />A<br />Shadow, I'm only a bed of blackened coal. Call myself Jezebel for<br />Wanting<br />To leave.<br />I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the<br />Sacred tie that bound me to you. I'm just saying we've mistaken one<br />For<br />Thousands of words. And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain<br />That I<br />Damn that word. I've no more ways to hide that I'm a desolate and<br />Empty,<br />Hollow place inside.<br />I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the<br />Sacred tie that bound me to you. I'm not saying love's a plaything.<br />No,<br />It's a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.<br />How<br />I wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our<br />Lives<br />Into a blindfold over both our eyes.
