Cult Baby

down the drain you knew better
they’re lifted up when you fall down
for how long have you been working for your father
shield your ears, you won’t be bothered
while waiting for your crown
oh no, they put a spider on your back
then threw you out before their devil would attack
now we are nailed to their light
while you’re still there you’re wondering
why we’re still fighting with our senses
we are so far behind
we are still fighting with our senses
we are so far behind
oh no, the apologies you mutter
brave a smile, then clicks the shutter
the way the music makes you feel
cause i’ve seen you as a stranger, seen you as a ghost
as a boy who’s used to dress up, in his parents clothes
just to feel the danger, never touched but it’s been close
the feeling so appealing, it always comes and goes
we are still fighting with our senses
we are so far behind
oh life, come leap through my defenses
oh life, won’t you come around?
its not the medicine i take that does wonders
its the way it makes my body swim
its not the remedy itself that puts me under
the spell i am in, this spell i am
you’re still there, dancing on my shoulders
you’re still there, weakening my knees
you’re still there, counting all my numbered
days while i am waiting for release
(come lead a way, and you’ll be followed, come lead a way and i’ll be fine)
we are still fighting with our senses
we are so far behind
