lyrics

snrkftghp

you said I'm a black hole
full of negative energy
that's why I'm so far away
and always so damn heavy

you're just an astronaut
watching from the space ark
full of life and people
heading into the dark

I think I'm more of a zombie
dripping flesh and leaking brain
that's why my mouth never shuts
why I shamble back and forth

but you're my necromancer
coming from your cave with
puppets of bone and string
pull this or that to make me sing

I'm tired of all these metaphors
why can't call like it is?
I'm not the person you want me to be
and I don't like the life I lead

I'm just a child lost and bored
and you are selfish in your heart

you said I'm difficult
you've got me there
