lyrics

Did you ever think I would turn it on,
I’d turn on the gas?
Did you ever think I would smash it all,
In a mess like that?
No one could predict
That it turned sour,
Now I want to feel free

And if I could,
I’d try not to touch you
I’d try to leave slowly,
Like sand in your hands.
And if I knew, if I’d found the formula
Which gods keep for themselves,
What would we become?

Did you ever think that the one who knows
Is the one who owes?
Did you ever think that I could scream so loud in a case like that?
Than even worms would know your name
And start to appreciate it.

And if I could,
I’d try not to touch you
I’d try to leave slowly, crying all I could.
If I’d knew
That it’d never be the cure
To the shooting pain, like a snake
On the ground…

And as soon as I have finished with your heart and mind
I’d try to live, as a cloud rocked by the wind
I left my body
A few years ago
Carefully modelled by you, I became a perfect stranger

Now I’m gonna leave you and get out of here.
