lyrics

Let’s take a look at my brain
I claim, you’ll find it to be
in pain, in pain, in pain
Let’s take a look at my heart
when I ask it a question
it’ll probably answer
please ask again
when you’ve got a proper question
you retard

And my friends who I thought
to be pretty cool
are forcing me to drink vodka
with beer

and my eyes who had sworn
till death do us part
are leaking and shredding
the best memories I had

I like to sit alone at home
but I don’t feel free
who stole my ability
to hang out with the crazies
who said it was a good idea
to be rich and famous
oh, I wanna be famous
oh, I wanna be famous
I wanna be famous
oh, I wanna be famous
I wanna be famous
I wanna be famous

I want to pretend
that we speak the same language
that we’re both made out of garbage
that you believe in my magic
but you said it’s just dirty tricks
you said my magic isn’t magical enough
I hate you

We’ve come to a dead end
and I am gonna climb the wall
I will love you if you follow
I will love you if you follow
and I promise that we’ll fall
really hard really hard
and if you don’t fall I’ll pull you down
to the ground to the ground
I wanna hate, I wanna love
I wanna cry, I wanna die
break my heart, tear it apart
I wanna feel something real
rip out my eyes
rip out my eyes
keep me alive
rip out my eyes
keep me alive
rip out my eyes
keep me alive
rip out my eyes

about

Alicia Edelweiss image

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. ... more
