Perpetua

I am sympathetic to your cause
I'm not pathetic, I'm just a person, I'm lost in all your books
I am like a martyr for your gods
The great pretender, say that I'm normal, I beg for all your love
I can hide my mind for your acceptance's sake
costumes are cool, I'm always fighting, I'm the man-nest man alive
Like a silhouette I'm an outline
all that's left in my heart is ashes and you're the cigarette

Like magdalene I'm married to belief
some ancient text and prayers meant for me
Shirts and skirts hurt more than I could care,
reminding me my body isn't there

Create all your divine
Cremate all my design
Stay and say I'm alright
Hold my hand for tonight

I nominate my craving for the truth
to satiate all the things I wanna do
If I'm a martyr then how am I to live
Am I just a means to end your power trip

Your power trip

Create all your divine
Cremate all my design
Stay and say I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

Create all your divine
Cremate all my design
Stay and say I'm alright
Hold my hand for tonight
Create all your divine
Cremate all my design
