lyrics
Faded soles, they cut a plan tonight.
I was alone, but for movement—was it right?
Feign, oh me.
Amy, no, I was on fire,
I was a beast in the court of my life.
You were the rain in my Toronto night,
Save me from the plane.
And you call my name,
And you say I’m an animal.
And you call it sane,
For to feel self unravelling.
At home, it’s not I—it’s not clear—
What, but defence of this body?
It’s not me who would go.
I was alone, but for movement—was it right?
Feign, oh me.
Amy, no, I was on fire,
I was a beast in the court of my life.
You were the rain in my Toronto night,
Save me from the plane.
And you call my name,
And you say I’m an animal.
And you call it sane,
For to feel self unravelling.
At home, it’s not I—it’s not clear—
What, but defence of this body?
It’s not me who would go.
