Sympathy Magic

Memory fails me, names and faces blur

There is only after or before

Am I so different?

Have I changed?

I do not recognise my face

The scar fades, it pulls inside tugging at me all the time

Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out

Crushed in a ballgown

Anxious and ashamed

The vague humiliations of fame

I do not find worthiness a virtue

I no longer try to be good

It didn't keep me safe, like you told me that it would

So come on tear me wide open

A terrible gift

Let the chorus console me

And a light coming in the window just so

And the wind through my fingers

The only God that I know

And it does not want me on my knees to believe

Head high, arms wide

Aching, aching, aching and alive and alive

So I don't have to be worthy

I no longer try to be good

It didn't keep me safe like you told me that it would

So come on tear me wide open

Till I'm losing my mind

Till I cannot contain it

La-da-la-da-da-da-da

So come on, come on I can take it

Give me everything you've got

What else, what else, what else, what else?

So come on, come on I can take it

Give me everything you've got

What else, what else, what else, what else?

Sympathy magic, sympathy magic

So come on, come on, I can take it

So come on, come on, I can take it

Come on, come on, come on

Sympathy magic, sympathy magic

So come on, come on, come on, come on sympathy magic

So come on, come on, come on, come on sympathy magic
