My Sweet Unlife

Lulled once again
I got on the wrong train.
I'll wake up in another country
Don't know which one, I never cared.

I ought to panic and flail around
Or at least out one of my feet on the ground
Do I really have to do it all again ?
I'll resurect, just give me five more minutes.

     I find myself circling
     Circling
     Like conjoined twin birds
     Like a crippling curse
     Over the city
     A need to purge the sludge
     Left in my identity.

I finally got up and left
Was left in the middle of the desert.
Okay, I might have been kicked out
Looks like I'm in for some mostly undeserved fun.

Cacti aren't very good snacks
And foxes are pricks after all.
A snake bit a bit of my soul
So to keep it moving I ripped off my spine

     I find myself circling
     Circling
     Like conjoined twin birds
     Like a crippling curse
     Over the city
     A need to purge the sludge
     Left in my identity.

If I had known I wouldn't have come
I feel all-seeing eyes roll around me.
Still convulsing and drooling all over
Find my way back to the city,
Find my way back to the city.

Pretty sure this is still the wrong place
But I don't care, I wanna die.
I've been ripped off, robbed of my youth
So I'm gonna trash this town !
Burn it to the ground !

     I find myself circling
     Circling
     Like conjoined twin birds
     Like a crippling curse
     Over the city
     A need to purge the sludge
     Left in my identity.

So it's been three thousand years now
Housewives sign a cross when they hear my name.
I've crossed all seven seas by the bottom
And I suffer from a lack of ambition.

I've tried salt, garlic and sunlight
And I just won't go any further
But when That One chases me with her scythe
The scars make me want to take time to reconsider.

And that's when I met her...
In the noisiest wing of the hospital
The light of my life !
The teeth in my mouth !
Every single thing I am not...

     I find myself circling
     Circling
     Like conjoined twin birds
     Like a crippling curse
     Over the city
     A need to purge the sludge
     Left in my identity.

     I find myself circling
     Circling
     Down to my haven
     Sighs of relief course
     Throughout all Eternity
     Only her can purge the sludge
     And merge with my wicked
                       poisonous
                       fucked up identity.
