Song lyrics
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains...
Absolutely nothing's changed...
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...

Why ain't it s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began...

It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend,
but I guess I, I guess I hate you...

This song is awesome! Until Eddie comes in and ruins it with his voice, I don`t know why they fitted the lyrics in like this, but this song could`ve been much better. Eddie`s singing and the instrumentals are like two waves that crash into each other, and nothing comes of it (this song only). The instrumentals alone in the last minute and a half of the song are so mindblowing. Eddie is a genius, but he messed this song up.

I THINK EDDIE VEDDER MADE THIS SONG GREAT!!!!!!

idk why people say his voice was off. Yes he is a genious, yes he has messed up a little, but not in this song.

"I would rather starve than eat ur bread"

deep stuff

Eddie did not mess this song up, I think his voice and the instruments blend very well. This helps create the entire feeling of the song. Anyway, even when Eddie does fuck up, it sounds great. Great song all around!!!!
