Voltaire - The Chosen lyrics

rate me

Last night a moth came to my bed

and filled my tired weary head

with horrid tales of you

I can't believe it's true

But then the lamp shade smiled at me,

and it said, "Believe" it said, "believe."

I want you to know it's nothing personal

First time I had sex I was three.

First time consenting was thirteen.

Though you weren't there you remind

me of those hands.

Roses are red, violets are blue

if I'm schizophrenic, then I am too!

Whatever it takes to escape.

I hope you understand

why I'm forced to take your life in my hands.

I want you to know it's nothing personal

And though we've never met

I've seen your image in a million waking dreams.

Your eyes they call to me, "Set me free."

Did i ever tell you? You look like my mother.

She once left me in a supermarket.

I promised myself that I'd never feel that way again.

Did i ever tell yoo? you look like my dear old mother

I hope you understand

why I'm forced to take my life in your name

I want you to know it's nothing all the same.

And though we've never met

I've seen your image in a million waking dreams

Your eyes the call to me, "Set me free."

Last night a moth came to my bed

and filled my tired weary head

with horrid tales of you

I can't believe it's true

But then the lamp shade smiled at me,

and it said, "Believe" it said, "believe."

I want you to know it's nothing personal

I hope you understand

why I'm forced to take your life in my hands.

I want you to know it's nothing personal

And though we've never met

I've seen your image in a million waking dreams.

Your eyes they call to me, "Set me free."

I hope you understand

why I'm forced to take my life in your name

I want you to know it's nothing all the same.

And though we're never met

I've seen your image in a million waking dreams

Your eyes the call to me, "Set me free."

It's not easy being the chosen

It's not easy being the chosen
