Lady Lamb - Strange Maneuvers lyrics

A man holds a Bible above his head
His blood rushes down with a shit-eating grin
He's only hoping to be noticed
The teenagers buy berries on the corner
The juices drop down their middle fingers
They're just lookin' to be looked over
Well, I'm passin' by the cathedral doors
It's gorgeous inside whether or
Not you're reborn

Wadin' in the wings
Wild thoughts are everything
The mind is thinking of it'self
How stunning? The ripeness is rotting
The roughness is softening
Time is making strange maneuvers

A spectacle so theatrical
Person is fucking hisself over and over
How incessant, how unnerving
The shimmer of the heavens we are cursing

I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore

After wading all day in my kiddie pool brain
My last stitch is a ticket to a matinee
But my attention span is too broke to play
I can't stop replaying my
Mistakes over and over
And over, and over, and over

Wadin' in the wings
Wild thoughts are everything
The mind is thinking of it'self
How stunning? The ripeness is rotting
The roughness is softening
Time is making strange maneuvers

How incessant, how unnerving
The shimmer of the heavens we are cursing

I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore
I don't wanna be afraid of myself anymore

(Thank you) kurt called in the early morning
Just to remind me I'm already alright
Last night he read me a long list of words
To occupy my mind and it worked, Kurty-bear
You bathe my brain like a baby sink
Please stay with yourself the way
You stayed with me

I know of the vibrant pain
When the pitch of your crying is
Vibrating your vein
Like an already taught string being tightened
But, your mind is thinking of it'self
Honey, isn't that something else?
