Put It In A Bag
I'll take my dark side--put it in a bag
Carry it around for years
Give it to you when you least expect it
Leave it up to you to nurture and protect it
Keep it alive--it'e part of me
I'll pass it on to you eventually
Can my shadow come out and play?
Mommy says, "No! What would people say
if they knew my little angel acted that way?
Put it in a bag and hide it away!"
Keep it alive--it's half of me
And now it's your responsibility
Put it in a bag so I can drag it around
Put it in a bag so it can weigh me down
Put it in a bag--cram it in--shove it
Put it in a bag and deny that I love it
To the ones I love here's a special gift
An extra bail for you to lift
And carry around until it breaks your bakc
Like a mother whose child is stepping on cracks
