Teen angst, anyone? This song was written when I was 15. There was a girl I liked. This description probably works for most of the songs on this album.

lyrics

I want to be you, I want to do what you do
You can be renewed
I want to seem as frightening
As frightening as you seem

I was alone until the day you spoke to me
Now I’m covered with the darkness and I cannot see
What will I do now that you have left me

You’re so good is what she said to me
She was tranquil & I ignored her every plea
Dead don’t bother me they listen and sit
She lay down with me and took another hit

Never liked the girl
But she knew death
And she introduced me
All by herself

She makes me feel wanted and divine
She braids her hair and whips it in my eyes
She thinks that I’m a turd and I’m inclined to agree
But she buys me food and mails letters for me

Never liked the girl
But I think that she’s keen
Never liked the girl
She knows who I’ve been

She’s colorful and likes to laugh and point right at me
She burns her skin away and she likes to follow me
She’s everything I ever wanted, everything insane
She’s everything I never thought of like her name

Never

Never liked the girl
Well, hardly ever

I want to be you, I want to do what you do
You can be renewed
I want to sing
And be an ancient king
And they will worship me

I was alone until the day you spoke to me
Now I’m covered with the darkness and I cannot see
What will I do now that you have left me
