lyrics

Give me a name
If I behave
Rescue me
From a nonexistence
Blessed with a
Ditzy an empty an airheaded template
Waiting to be written

Dust specks are floating
Behind my eyes
Blitzed remains from an archeological dig
Once was residence

I’ve been shown my place
Take my name and throw it away
And I won’t feed this body anymore

I won’t scream or shake
Take my name and throw it away
Won’t lie to you with a smile anymore

If I was a young and pretty girl
If I added nothing to the world
If I hid what festers deep inside
Would you rewrite these lies?

What once made you cringe
Left an empty corpse
Put me on display
The danger’s burnt into the dirt
