Lyrics

CONQUER ME

Written by Timothy Mank

You?re sane now at least that?s what they tell me.
But they doubted you before my birth when you would pull and scream.
Make our mother cry, make our father hit you
And when you disappeared for days, what were you going do?

You?re sane now the police have stopped their knocking.
But I was too young to visit you within the walls that were shrinking
To watch you sit in your plastic chair and refuse to play their sedated games
And when you pulled out all your hair looking at life through a window pane.

CHORUS:
When I look into your eyes, it?s a mirror image I see
All the things that I feel, there was no one for you now there?s no one for me
And all the things I was taught to believe, I could conquer the world?
If I could conquer me.

You?re sane now, enough to walk with grace down the aisle.
But your groom was not around when you dropped the full-length mirror on your mother?s head,
And did you ever tell him just how it feels to lie strapped to a fucking bed.
I said, ?You?re sane now.?

CHORUS:

And all the things I was taught to believe, I could conquer the world?
If I could conquer me.

I?m sane now, I?m sane now
Who I am and what I believe.
The world I would conquer, if I could only conquer me, conquer me, conquer me.
