lyrics

Insects crawling under my skin
something's wrong and I know it's not the drugs
I bet you trust everyone and everything
Oh, I know you'd never want to hurt me
oh, you know I'd never want to hurt you

What are you trying to escape from?
you're so young, never killed, you should go home
so listen girl, I really like you
and if you left without saying goodbye
oh sister, I would die
oh sister, I would die

So take these pills
they will make you really chilled
oh you know I'd never want to hurt you
oh you know I'd never want to hurt you

But when you smile everything seems alright
and between those smiles I catch those lonely eyes
and the whole world is falling into you
and the whole world is falling into you

Oh do you think I'm pretty enough?
Oh do you think I'm woman enough?
Oh I wish I was human enough
oh I know you'd never want to hurt me
oh I know you'd never want to hurt me

Well insects are crawling under my skin
something's wrong and I know it's not the drugs
I bet you trust everyone and everything
Oh, you know I'd never want to hurt you
oh, you know I'd never want to hurt you

Oh when you smile everything seems alright
and between those smiles I catch those lonely eyes
and the whole world is falling into you
and the whole world is falling into you
and you know I'd never want to hurt you
and you know I'd never want to hurt you

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician.
