Alarm

[Verse 1]
This is my alarm
Sounding off inside my head
And this is my charm
Chasing all these beds
And when it does me harm
I play the victim over again
Yea this poor heart
Confused again

[Verse 2]
This is my tattoo
Scratched across my chest
Yea look at my tattoo
Still bleeding under my vest
Don’t you like it you, you
Can join with all the rest
And scratch right through
Any hope that’s left

[Verse 3]
Here I am again
Just desperate for my chance yea
And will you be my friend
If I promise we can dance
And I can pretend
I’m not screaming under my skin
When you win your ink

[Verse 4]
Yea marvel at the sound
Of a woman breaking down
Yea marvel at the crowd
All desperate to stick around
To bring my body down
Take pieces of my core
The world conspired to make me its whore

[Verse 5]
Yea and this is my tattoo
Scratched across my chest
Yea look at my tattoo
Still bleeding under my vest
Don’t you like it you, you
Can join with all the rest
And scratch right through
Any hope that’s left, any hope that’s left, any hope that’s left

[Verse 6]
So this is my alarm
Sounding off inside my head
Yea and I know it does me harm
But still I’m always led down the path of
Slavery and armed men
So I’m ready, I'm waiting
To pretend
Again
