Tempered; Not Tamed Songtext
von The Delgados

Have you seen yourself?
Take a limit and push it for your health
If nothing more

What lives inside
Takes more to deny than just my pride
Nines times for four

I′m feeling certain that I have been denied
What's given good
It′s not a question of half-baked traumatized
It's just a question of should

Did it ever occur?
Should I throw some light onto something slurred?
Uncovered and heard

Steal a moment's thought
Parasites are the worst afflicted
Secondhanded shot


I′m feeling certain that I have been denied
What′s given good
It's not a question of half-baked traumatized
It′s just a question of should
And my confusion is all a bit paranoid
And maybe that's a lie
Persistent reasoning all within a void
It′s not that I don't try

I have nowhere to be seen right now
I have no expectations of my wheres and how
I cannot see your right hand, cannot see your face
It′s like I'm running stationary from this place

I'm waiting for the option to come and take me down
I want to be corrected by the ones that are renowned
Terrified persuasion can′t relieve me from this scene
I′m waiting for denial of where I think I've been

I′m feeling certain that I have been denied
What's given good
It′s not a question of half-baked traumatized
It's just a question of should
And my confusion is all a bit paranoid
And maybe that′s a lie
Persistent reasoning all within a void
It's not that I don't try
