lyrics

I had a dream
I was saving everything
Die a hero Jesus king
Dare to speak to me

Princess mute is dead and gone
You all took her far too wrong
She would never sing along
To your seventh psalm

And I hear the girl’s insane
Little kids they mime her pain
Called a mutant china freak
Cause she could not speak

In the bathroom she is found
Feet are kissing the cold ground
Is she ever coming out
Or is she trapped in all that doubt

Did you think that just because
She was glass and brittle bone
You could tell her to phone home
And she’d be over it

I don’t think it works like that
Take your shiny kitchen bat
And smash it out, smash it out
Smash it out

I hate you
But I’ll save you
God complex
Frightened mess
Devil’s chess
Shiva says
Simon’s dead
Buddha hums
A lady runs
While He’s betrayed
The last one lays
A rotten egg
Upon the hay
So I stay
