LYRICS

A dark blue beauty lives under my skin 

She’s my call of duty working within 

She’s my care, engine 

tone and boost

She’s there when hens come home to roost

Lay me bare 

I’m a double being

Tie me to a chair or I’ll rise to the ceiling

House of ghosts

It’s a devil’s deal

My friends call me Faust

Mental, surreal

🦋

She walks through walls, 

She stands in the air

When this beauty calls, 

You’d better prepare

Basks in my shoes

Laughs in my head

My name packs two, 

Even when i’m in bed

My foil, my fuel, 

And she drinks my blood, 

I’ve toiled in her school since I was a cub

Is she a muse? 

Misnomer

Don’t serve her booze, 

Nor do I phone her

My hair’s a decoy

It’s only a look

We’re the bear and boy from the jungle book

Call me Joan of arc

Burn me at the stake

My voices in the dark sing William Blake

Holy heretic, 

Voodoo, black magic; 

With ghosts in the attic

It’s psycho somatic

🦋

You’re alone in this brutal world

Life’s cruel, 

Life’s brutal, 

The answers you seek aren’t on Google

Nor are they in school

Jump from the boat

Show me how you float

Keep a rope under your coat 

For when you lose hope

Don’t be a soulless slave 

Don’t rot in a hopeless grave

Ditch the race for success 

Taste what it means to really be blessed

Ditch the dog-eat-dog 

Find peace in the fog

Build me a synagogue

But remember: you’re only a cog

Look under my skin, whatever’s within

36 scars, seven sins and a grin

Be a chink in the chain, 

Sing in the rain, 

Be sick, be sane,

Wherever you are,

Celebrate my name

My coffin’s a cradle 

I’m rotten, I’m stable

I bailed from jail 

My body’s the grail

Foot the bill, swallow the pill, ride the storm 

Be sure to finish better than you were born 

Treasure every pleasure

Never say never

Get your shit together

Wipe the blood off your ledger

There’s no leader 

There’s no teacher 

Us dreamers can only dig deeper 

Be worthy of Krishnamurti:

One may live in society, but one has to be an outsider to society

And to be an outsider to society one has to be free of society

Society demands that you act according to an idea 

That is all society knows

That is all that human beings know

Conform, imitate, accept, obey

And one must extricate oneself from this social disorder, 

from this social immorality

Which means one must be alone 

Though you may live in society 

You are no longer accepting its structure and values

The brutality, the envy, the jealousy, the competitive spirit

And therefore you are alone

When you are alone you are mature

Maturity is not of age

🦋
