Partial lyrics to Magnet's Coil. I know I've made the mistake of crediting all Sebadoh songs I know to Lou Barlow, but this one is his. I've deleted the lines that don't apply to my situation.

I've gotta find a way to loosen up
I'm wound tighter than a magnet's coil
The longer I try to keep my mouth shut
The sooner little brain is gonna boil

And if you turn back just to fuck me up
I'll cut you loose and watch you fall
It feels good just to bitch about it
Scratch that itch until it bleeds

I can't play the silent game
'Cuz when I talk the silence follows
You never say what's on your mind

If you laugh to see me so defensive
I'll know I've made another enemy
Nobody wants another mirror on their fears
I guess that's all you are to me

It's always personal between us
You won't say what's on your mind
What's on your mind
What's on your mind
