Titus Andronicus - Stranded (On My Own) lyrics

"Let's rock"

Crazy heart, where have you gone?
I thought that you and me
Were really getting along!
Left alone to dread the dawn
Like some kind of science
Experiment gone wrong
I could've made history
Now I've been made history
And who knew that victory
Could be so slippery?

Cover the thick bloodstains
On your sick young brain
Just take your Ritalins
Then you can play the old hit's again

You explained the Abyss away
And I can't listen when you
Say you're not missing me


You kissed me in the
Blistering heat, oh yeah, yeah!
Right there on the street with
Tears on my glistening cheek
Now no one listens to me
They tell me that I'm twisted and weak
I see that I was picked to
Be the picture in the dictionary

Look up "Addicted, " that's me
Then look up "Wicked disease"
Then look up "Sick of police"
Then look up "Victim" closely, ooh yeah

I meet the mystery beast
The same one my sister receives
He comes to bludgeon and beat
Demands me on both knees
He will not admit defeat and when he pricks
I'm going to bleed and I can raise fists or
Flee, soon shouting, "No, mister, please,!"

He destroys the diseases
As though Jesus could see us
High up in a cathedral
Where an evil heart freezes
And even the devil would start to believe it
When the man without equal, from the pulpit
Preaches
You gotta believe he can show you the secrets
"That's what a priest is, Mama"

He comes to obliterate all
Of my mischievous ways
And leaves me a useless disgrace
Silent through limitless rage
Violently neutered and caged
Stuffed with subliminal hate
I'm nothing but a puppet at play
Crying in a beautiful place

Another brutal display on an invisible face
In a legal-ish space
It's the usual way within a week of Wednesday

Crazy heart, where have you gone?
I thought that you and me
I thought that you and me
I thought that you and me
Were really getting along

"All right"
