lyrics

Fuck me like a flower; bathe me in colour
Exorcise ignorance and embrace me
Scream your sorrow into my eye
I'm the only one who seems to care, to stare
I want you, in me, in my vicinity
Free to be, free to see…there in the distance
there, there

It's not my home I don't live here any more
It's not my home
It's not my home
I don't feel safe here any more
we're not alone

Free from the shadow of man man man…go away
Woman, mother, lover, take over, take me over
The clock starts to run away and everyone seems sad sad sad
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck me, fuck me!
Arbitrary mishaps, diverged miles, mental journeys, misplaced smiles
Smile me all night, embrace the silence of uncertainty and break my protection
Words are games and people are strange and I am deranged, but I like it, won't you?
