I Am Who I Am

Lie to me or lay, my heart
On a scaffold where you wish me be
Tie me to your rising moon
You rise your tide, your icy sea
Drown the moment, drown the sigh
And drown the truth we can’t defy
Despite the bruises and the gores
We can’t let go and can’t deny.
I am who I am
You say I’m playing with your soul
To kill the love I can’t abide
Within my chest, within my mind
Within my memories far behind
When I behold you going by
I turn away and try to find
A harbour I withdraw my sails
Seek shelter from your stormy way.
I am, who I am
And you question me and say that I’m a wreck
I’m a cunt, I’m a leech and I’m the presence of the lack
I’m a stunt, I should go, I should leave
and let you go and I should do, what you will,
for you’re right and I am wrong
I’m fake, I’m a liar and pretender I am weak, you are strong
I’m a drunk, and I’m a punk, and I’m a junkie
I’m a skunk, I’m an uneasy disease from which you want
Want to come, come round.
