Serious from Awkward & Arrogant by Valerie Cox

So I thought, so I thought that I used to be smart
So I thought, so I thought, so I thought, I thought

But now I know, now I know, now I know I was wrong
I was wrong, so wrong about what I thought

I'm disinclined to talk about my state of mind
But I can't think straight

I'm not making a joke
Though that's quite unusual
You know I joke
About everything
But not this time
I'm serious....
I'm not making a joke...
I can't think straight

Everyday, everyday is a struggle for me
Hold my thoughts, hold my tongue, everyday, everyday

I crossed the line, crossed boundaries of my mind
And now I can't think straight

I'm not making a joke...

It all seemed so simple
At the alter of my the temple
Taking offerings, offerings, now I'm faltering
False gods always crumble
And here I am a pile of rubble
With my offerings, my offerings
My mind in pieces
With the bitter taste of my own medicine
I can't think straight

I'm not making a joke...
