Bent 4 U - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Bent 4 U
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
You're unsure and you're not ready
So that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested
To you I look for comfort

A million times in a million ways
I will try to change you
A million months and a million days
I'll try to convince you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you
And I'm done
I have deferred to you and enabled you
And I'm done

You're too young or you're too old
Or you're simply not inclined
You're asleep or you're withholding
Be that my cue to crave you

Several times in several ways
I'll try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways
I'll feast on scraps thrown from you

I have bent 4 u and I've deprived for you
And I'm done
I have depressed for you and I contorted for you
And I'm done

I have stifled for you and I've compromised for you
And I'm done
I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you
And I'm done

It won't be long before I am reclaimed
It won't take long and I'll be on path again
It won't be easy for us to disengage
I'm at the end of self deprivation stage

You're afraid of every woman
Afraid of your inner workings
You cringe at the thought of living under
The same roof as me God and everything

A million times and a million ways
I've tried to alter to match you
Several times every several days
I've tried to uncrush on you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you
And I'm done
I have deferred to you and enabled you
And I'm done

I have bent 4 u and I've deprived for you
And I'm done
I have depressed for you and I contorted for you
And I'm done

Offer - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Offer
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
Who?
Who am I to be blue?
Look at my family and fortune
Look at my friends and my house

Who?
Who am I to feel deadened?
Who am I to feel spent?
Look at my health and my money

And where?
Where do I go to feel good?
Why do I still look outside me?
Clearly I've seen it won't work

Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable?
And is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire?
And my generosity has been disabled by this
My sense of duty to offer

And why?
Why do I feel so ungrateful?
Me who is far beyond survival
Me who sees life as an oyster

Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable?
And is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire?
And my generosity has been disabled
By this, my sense of duty to offer

And how?
How dare I rest on my laurels?
How dare I ignore an outstretched hand?
How dare I ignore a third world country?

Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable?
And is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire?
And my generosity has been disabled by this
My sense of duty to offer

Who?
Who am I to be blue?

Sister Blister - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Sister Blister
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
You and me, we're cut from the same cloth
It seems to some, we famously get along
But you and me are strangers to each other
'Cuz you and me, competitive to the bone

Such tragedy to trample on each other
With how much we've endured, with the state this land is in
And you and me feel joined by only gender
We are not all for one and one for all

Sister blister, we fight to please the brothers
And think their acceptance is how we win
They're happy, we're climbing over each other
To beg the club of boys to let us in

You and me, estranged from the mother
And you and me have felt impotent in our skin
You and me have taken it out on each other
And you and me disloyal to the feminine

Such a pity to disavow each other
With how far we've come, with how strong we've been
And you and me are on this pendulum together
And you and me with scarcity still fueling

Sister blister, we fight to please the brothers
We think their acceptance is how we win
They're happy, we're climbing over each other
To beg the club of boys to let us in

We may not have priorities same
We may not even like each other
We may not be hugely anti-men
But such a cost to dishonor a sister

You and me have made it harder for the other
We forget how hard separatism has been
You and me, we can help change their minds together
And you and me in alignment until the end

Sister blister, we fight to please the brothers
We think their acceptance is how we win
They're happy, we're climbing over each other
To beg the club of boys to let us in

Sister blister, we fight to please the brothers
We think their acceptance is how we win
They're happy, we're climbing over each other
To beg the club of boys to let us in

Simple Together - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Simple Together
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
'Cause we're off limits during this transition

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

You've been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew God's face was handsome
With you I saw fun and an expansion

This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything

I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken

Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken

Purgatorying - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Purgatorying
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
Entertain me for the tenth hour in a row again
Anesthetize me with your gossip and many random anecdotes
And fill every hour with activity or ear candy
Drop me off at intersections in any city metropolitan

And keep me in this state
And keep me purgatorying
And sing me back to sleep
This is far more than I have bargained for

Start every week with a breakneck urgent design
And end every speed day with my briefcase representing free time
Spending my fumes, my purchases become my lifeline
Please give my love to my family, I'll doubtfully be home at Christmas time

Don't disturb me in this state
Please leave me purgatorying
I'll be damned if I'm to wake
This is far more than I am equipped for

Yeah, I've held you up like a deity
Like you're the sole owner of wings
This unrequited tunnel of vision
And I wonder why I've not been writing

Please keep me in this state
Please keep me purgatorying
Please rock me back to sleep
This is love is more than, than I have bargained for

I'll be damned if I'm to wake
This is far more than I'm equipped for

Sorry To Myself - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Sorry To Myself
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
For hearing all my doubts so selectively
For continuing my numbing relentlessly
For helping you and myself, not even considering
For beating myself up and over functioning

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one?s been crueler than I've been to me

For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional
For denying myself to somehow make us compatible
For trying to fit a rectangle into a hall

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one?s been crueler than I've been to me

I'm sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

For blaming myself for your unhappiness
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be

To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one?s been crueler than I've been to me

And I?m sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I?m sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest
Forgetting you or forgetting myself
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter
I would've naturally loved the former

For ignoring you, my highest voices
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious
For being so disassociated from my body
And not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one?s been crueler than I've been to me

And I?m sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I?m sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

I?m sorry to myself
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I?m sorry to myself
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

Unprodigal Daughter - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Unprodigal Daughter
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
To imagine myself bolting had not been difficult

Soon be my life, soon be my pace
Soon be my choice of which you'll have no part of

Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter, hit the ground running at last
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed

I hit the ground running although I know not what toward
I hit the town reeling forgetting all that came before
I felt primed and ready, unsurrounded by the pawns
I felt culture shocked but dissuaded I was not

This is my town, this is my voice
This is my taste of what you've had no part of

Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter, hit the ground running at last
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed

One day I'll saddle back and speak of foreign adventures
One day I'll double back and tell you about these unfettered years
One day I'll look back and feel something other than relieved
Glad that I left when I did before your dear, can't get the best of me

When I'd speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When I'd speak of spirituality you would label it absurd
When I spoke of impossibility you would frown and shake your head
If I had stayed much longer I'd have surely imploded

These are my words, this is my house
These are my friends of which you've had no part of

Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter, hit the ground running at last
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed

Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter, hit the ground running at last
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed

Fear Of Bliss - Lyrics - Feast On Scraps - Alanis Morissette

Title: Fear Of Bliss
Album: Feast On Scraps
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
My misery has enjoyed company
And although I have ached, I don't threaten anybody
Sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
Sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to

I've tried to be small, I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all my happy endings prevented
Sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do

Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness and ensuing solitude

I could be golden, I could be glowing
I could be freedom but that could be boring
Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you

Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness and ensuing solitude

This talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down
Under the covers till the terror of the unknown is gone, gone

I could be full, I could be thriving
I could be shining sounds isolating
Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do

Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness and ensuing solitude
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness and ensuing solitude

I've tried to be small, I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all my happy endings are prevented

Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do

Bent For You - Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

Title: Bent For You
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Composer(s): Alanis Morissette

Lyric:
You're unsure and you're not ready
So that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested
To you I look for comfort

A million times in a million ways
I will try to change you
A million months and a million days

Or you're simply not inclined
You're asleep or you're withholding
Be that my cue to crave you

Several times in several ways
I'll try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways
I'll feast on scraps thrown from you

I have bent for you
And I've deprived for you and I'm done
I have depressed for you
