Be Myself Songtext
von Abdullah Siddiqui

Body horror dreams
Wake up too tangible for my own good
Shattered trees in my own woods
I can touch my skin
Feel force against the weight of my tame foot
You can cancel my sainthood

Burn the candle at both ends
All the Vandals are good men
I′m giving in to me, giving in to me

Bow down now at the altar of this bodyscape
Don't you know there′s never an escape?
Withering away in time and space
Now, now, now, won't you please be grateful for the pain?
Numbing it away like Novocain
Withering away what I became


I'm never gonna be myself again
As long as I be myself pretending all the time
I′m feeling so sublime
I′m never gonna be myself again
As long as I be myself pretending all the time
I'm feeling so refined

Hypomanic son
Indulge the sensory in a mute war
I′m the pain that I live for
Am I anyone?
Am I the matter stuck to my sane core?
Am I less than I am more?

Burn the candle at both ends
All the Wendels are good men
I'm giving in to me, giving in to me

Bow down now at the altar of this bodyscape
Don′t you know there's never an escape?
Withering away in time and space
(Withering away in time and space)
Now, now, now, won′t you please be grateful for the pain?
Numbing it away like Novocain
Withering away what I became


I'm never gonna be myself again
As long as I've myself pretending all the time
I′m feeling so sublime
I′m never gonna be myself again
As long as I be myself pretending all the time
I'm feeling so refined

I′m never gonna be myself again
As long as I be myself pretending all the time
I'm feeling so sublime
I′m never gonna be myself again
As long as I be myself pretending all the time
I'm feeling so refined
