lyrics

Don’t turn around and tell me I frown too much,
I can’t bear to hear those words.
Like Icarus, I was nervous to touch –
An attempt to flatter scared you’ll scatter like the birds
Who are already singing and it’s four in the morning
Want to join in with their chorus, fly through the forest with them
Tried to paint you out my memory, like a modern day Branwell Bronte
But like a badly fitted kilt or the pain of guilt you hung around me

I’m cloaked in your haze
Like a lab rat in a maze
Tried to shred you in my head
But you wouldn’t feed through the blades

That’s an odd way of saying things
That’s an odd way of saying things
That’s an odd way of saying things
But you’re not so normal yourself

Your face is an argument in all its violence
Your eyes are flies caught in amber resin
Your words are a murder and I’m the victim,
Would you kill me just one more time?
Don’t shine your torch at me so much,
You might see in to my mind and find out too much
You play me like a violin, Costorphine heroine.
No sword could ever slice your zircon skin.

Can’t climb out of this cage,
I’ve forgotten the sun’s rays,
Tried to shred you in my head
But you wouldn’t feed through the blades

That’s an odd way of saying things
That’s an odd way of saying things
That’s an odd way of saying things
But you’re not so normal yourself
