Another self-seeker
come to put me in my place
another cloud strangled
and dragged across my face
to be my veil, my shroud
to shade me from myself
and anything that might do me harm

Another heathen come to see
just how my garden grows
another liar, beggar, beast
wants to catch us out alone

but not you, no
surely not you
people are good and kind
and dumb and blind
to the painful things they do

when you burn your candle
it makes me sick
you burn your candle
with human hair wick
I dont need what you say about me
as a pathalogical liar
I dont need what you say about me
as your complicated desire

Another lean bulldog
dressed in ribbons and lace
another fool thinking
"Now there's easy prey"

I dont know, maybe i am wrong
though i can see them tearing loose
I dont know, but maybe I'm wrong
cause i think I'm tearing too

but not you, no
surely not you
people are pure and sweet
and full of need for
anything but the truth
and it makes me sick

when you burn your candle
it makes me sick
you burn your candle
with human hair wick
i dont need what you say about me
as a pathalogical liar
i dont need what you say about me
as your complicated desire
