Only Talking Sense

there'a a wild thing in the woolshed
 and it's keeping me awake at night
 a devil in the closet
 and a feeling I'd prefer to hide
 he is religion
 he won't hear me when I cry for help
 he has a vision of me
 but I am somebody else
 We talk the pillow
 there are times when I'm tied up to the fence
 only talking sense
 there's a mirror lake before me
 but I'm frozen when it's time to jump
 it's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find
 when independence comes
 you steel my shadow
 you make my blood run dry
 we are true only when we talk to the pillow
 there are times when I'm tied up to the fence
 only talking sense
 did you suffer as a child
 that's why you want me to cry
 you are afraid of me
 that's why you're so unkind
 you won't deny it
 when your child is tied up to the fence
 and I'm only talking sense
 lonely when we talk to the pillow
 and your child is messed up in the head
 I'm only talking sense
