kokopelle | Getting Some Nerve

You may recognize the following as a portion of Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut". I get chills when I hear the song. It is probably because I identify with the sentiment in so many ways.

And if I show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if I open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do
would you sell your story to rolling stone
would you take the children away
and leave me alone
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone
would you send me packing
or would you take me home

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut
