A dozen creatures in my head Recalling something that I said Did I frighten you? Can I stay at your place after the show? I’d also like to see you, though I didn’t mean to frighten you Woah, you’re sleeping next to me A candle’s left to burn in the hallway Woah, you’re trying to shut me out There’s something in that look of yours that scares me I didn’t make you kiss me, though You’re seeing other people, fine I guess I’m not that way inclined But you have your fun Punch in the number, ring the bell I treat your place like a hotel That is what you say Woah, you’re sleeping next to me A candle’s left to burn in the hallway Woah, you’re trying to shut me out There’s something in that tone of voice that scares me I didn’t make you fuck me, though You did that by yourself, darling; wasn’t I useless? You wanted something casual I guess that meant casually making me feel like shit Because Woah, you’re so damn volatile Another fucking shouting match to spite me Woah, I’ll let you shut me out There’s something in that brain of yours that desperately Needs some therapy Woah, but nothing ties me down There’s something in your screams that makes me wonder Woah, was there even a point? Or did you just engulf me to discard me? Four fucking hours on a train And all you hand me in return is shame I wanna frighten you I wanna frighten you Were we designed to run aground? You let the walls come crashing down I wanna frighten you I wanna fucking frighten you, yeah

Ik ben hier niet aanwezig Silhouetten die m’n schaduw op doen laaien Zijn verdronken in een meer Ik kan je niet vertrouwen Moet je altijd als ik bij je ben gaan schreeuwen? Heb ik dan nog niet genoeg voor je gedaan? Ik ben hier niet aanwezig Silhouetten die m’n schaduw op doen laaien Zijn verdronken in een meer Ik kan je niet vertrouwen Moet je altijd als ik bij je ben gaan schreeuwen? Heb ik dan nog niet genoeg voor je gedaan?

Isthmus, save me from the splendour and shock of the mainland I’d like to take shelter in a burnt down church and watch an age go by Crash test, airfield, down on the ground was a thought that’s been contained It said: “What if to question is all that one needs to be free?” Perpetually looking for a place to hide (From the time, from the eyes, from the memories) Drop dead on a road to the south or the west or wherever it leads (I think I’ve thought about it) You, untouched, could let an air force die (It’s too bad you’ve already been weaponised) From this window, the sky looks strikingly bright (Is it me? Is it you? Do we mind? Or—) Sixteen, seventeen dead and dying (Why’d you want to second-guess when you’ve got an engine running?) Swallowed up by a smoke cloud rising (Why’d you want to take the time when you’ve got investors calling?) On the day you’re about to set sail you’re reminded (Why’d you want a lack of disease when you can’t live without it?) That keeping people in line is a breeze when they’re blinded (Fly me to Crimea, where I can follow down the drain) Perpetually looking for a place to hide Drop dead on a road to the north or the east or wherever it leads You, untouched, could let a navy die (It’s too bad you’ve already been compromised) From this window, the sky looks strikingly bright (Is it me? Is it you? Do we mind? Or—) Sixty, seventy dead and dying (Why’d you want to second-guess when you’ve got an engine running?) Swallowed up by a smoke cloud rising (Why’d you want to take the time when you’ve got investors calling?) On the day you’re about to set sail you’re reminded (Why’d you want a lack of disease when you can’t live without it?) That keeping people in line is a breeze when they’re blinded (Fly me to Crimea, where I can follow down the drain) A hundred, was it? I’ve lost count Dying (Why’d you want to second-guess when you’ve got an engine running?) Swallowed up by a smoke cloud rising (Why’d you want to take the time when you’ve got investors calling?) On the day you’re about to set sail you’re reminded (Why’d you want a lack of disease when you can’t live without it?) That keeping people in line is a breeze when they’re blinded (Fly me to Crimea, and I will follow down the drain)

Ik heb mezelf gemaakt M’n naam, haarkleur, lichaam, identiteit En nou denk jij te kunnen gaan bepalen wat of wie ik ben? Hier is er geen plaats voor jouw soort Sluit jezelf op in je eigen hoofd “Waar gaat de wereld heen?” Voor jou is mijn bestaan toch geen gevaar? Of vrees je dat je dochters bloedlijn straks gaat eindigden bij mij? Ik heb mezelf gemaakt M’n naam, haarkleur, lichaam, identiteit En nou denk jij te kunnen gaan bepalen wat of wie ik ben?
