lyrics

still Born
(Minister)

A cotton candy selling clown
A bloody book upon the mantle
My childhood relapse decaying life
I’m still Born now
Till the day I die

The ocean drifted with the moon
The bottles empty, oh so soon
My cry of laughter controls the night
I’m still Born now
Till the day I die
Inside

This situation broke before
I looked for her, she wanted more
The butler locked the basement door
The system’s broken at the core
A light is dim upon first sight
The closer you get to the light
Your eyes are blinded, it’s so bright
You look inside and let it shine
Cause I’m a liar if you’d like
Divide the Nile if you’d like
Decry the Bible if you’d like

Your puppet dances all alone
A stranger breaks into your home
I’ve told the truth now it’s time to lie
I’m still Born now
Till the day I die

This naked world we’re in between
I’ve looked for you, you’ve looked for me
It must be me cause I’m dead inside
I’m still Born now
