Cursed

I pierced my eyelids, my belly, my toes
And poked holes through my skin 'til blood began to flow
But I can't get away from myself
No I can't get away from myself

I smoked and drank and inhaled and swallowed
And danced a trance ritual with belladonna
I escaped for a brief eternity but too soon
The pain came back again to awake me

So I did myself in but I came back again
And when I got back in I had to pay for my sins
And learn it all again, yeah learn it all again
And it was harder this time

And I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself

I sat inside an ice cube held a dream up hostage
And threatened and cursed and painted a violently beautiful seascape
Knelt and wept and yelled as I pulled all my nails off
Loved and sexed and spat - and spewed all my juices
Out of onto and mixed up with a kiss

And it was this kiss that saved me from all the pain
There was a child and a butterfly
Carrying all my wishes onto the windy breeze
The sun
The silky curtain

And I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from myself
