Double Nine - Birdeatsbaby

You the centre and the colour of my eyes

Double nine

You taught me how to see everything between

Knife filled eyes

My favourite and my best

Well there is no contest

The worst you ever did

I want to bless

I’ve been so lost since the skin upon my soul

Was fierce and bold

You knew the truth but God forbid any of your friends

Are ever told

Don’t say that we’re the same

You know the stars can lie

You’ve been a joyful blame for all my life

Well what’s that got to do with anything?

You don’t know me like you should and

Nothing’s ever good enough for you

Well I can scratch until I’m smooth until my hands are

Blistering and bruised

And I see you

You’ve been an inspiration and an awful pain

You’ll always be afraid of your own name

I beg you not to tell, as if you ever would

Now don’t forget to be what I never could
