Jessica Sligter - The Perfect Vessel lyrics

rate me

“BD & OCD,” you say

“With hallucinations,” you say

I say “I’m a musician.

Or ‘recording artist’, if you will”

Each we have a frame, we are contained

But they hand you pills and tag you

You say :“Kings & princesses live in me.

I am the perfect vessel.

No, but truly, they were in my bloodline.

Oh, I know, I know this is true.”

“They guide me & they’ve shown me things

I never could’ve known.

I found them to be true.

Then there’s also these imaginary beings

Ooh, they’re driving me insane again”

“Well, I know they are not real.

No, I know you’re not real.

No, I know. No, I know you are not real.”

On leaving there I realized

The beauty that you’ve shown

Regions that I’ve never know were there.
