Shown and Told Lyrics
Waking up you want to see
Who's it you want paralyzed
You see what you want to see
And its you that you've done hypnotized
There are corners of your home
You've never noticed before
There are corners of your own home
You've never noticed before
And you're numb and you're numb and you know that you're numb
And you're numb and you're numb and you know that you're numb
Taking out the you from me
The you that wants me paralyzed

And you're numb and you're numb and you know that you're numb
And you're numb and you're numb and you know that you're numb
Hermaphrodite stepfather
Just pollinate and don't bother the flower
My generous mother has set off to sail
Her genuflect offering faith in betrayal
There are corners of your home
You've never noticed before
There are corners of your own home
You've never noticed before
