The Mistress Lyrics - Hunter, Hunter - Amelia Curran

Hello it's me the mistress 

Is there anybody home? 

'Cause the last place I should be is sittin' here alone 

All I ask for is forgiveness 

If you've got some give it here 

You don't act much like you need it 

You don't look much like you care 

And will you need me in the summer? 

Will you need me in the spring? 

I believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin 

I've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins 

And its dragging me around among the needles and the pins 

And I don't need to take a breather 

I'm on the outside looking out 

Yeah, I don't need to see your papers 

'Cause I know what you're about 

You had me by the bible and you had me by the belt 

And you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt 

And then you praise me for my inspiration 

Asked me for an explanation 

Followed up with hesitation 

Fit my primal expectation 

I don't care but I don't mind 

You can call me any time 

You can holler through the fortress 

And kick me out of line 

I don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head 

I like suspended disbelief 

I like to spend the day in bed 

I like to spend the nights in heaven 

Hanging with the dead 

You know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head 

I've got my eyes upon the mirror 

I've got my hands up in the air 

I confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year 

You know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would 

But there's a war between the parts of me 

The evil and the good 

And you try and stop me I'm on fire 

It doesn't look that way 

You know, I used to be a liar 

But living's set me straight 

I don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else 

We keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf 

And nobody asks for my opinion because you don't want to hear 

I swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear 

And you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear 

Of a probable solution of why the devil put me here 

And now no judgement call will kill me 

Just makes me close my eyes 

And I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind 

Where I'd love to introduce you 

If you found a way inside 

You could sell me retribution and totally demystify 

Until I wonder how I got here 

Until I don't know who to be 

Is it better to be grounded? 

Is it better to be free? 

Am I better off without you? 

Am I happier alone? 

Hello, its me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?
