of Montreal - Colossus lyrics
[of Montreal - Colossus lyrics]
Your mother hung herself in
The National Theater
When she was four months
Pregnant with your sister
Who would've been thirteen years old today
Does that make you feel any
Less alone in the world?
Your dad, I'm sure, he tried his best
He thought you'd be better off
Living with your grandmother
He didn't realize that she
Had already given up
Baby, your family, they are just losers
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
The screech owls are going
Insane outside my house it is the season for
Trouble and self destruction
All of my friends, they are falling apart
But not me, I'm in control
Remember the exquisite corpse that
We created together? We laughed at the time
It seemed so impenetrable
But reading it now I think I understand
What it is that we are trying
To steal from each other
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
The National Theater
When she was four months
Pregnant with your sister
Who would've been thirteen years old today
Does that make you feel any
Less alone in the world?
Your dad, I'm sure, he tried his best
He thought you'd be better off
Living with your grandmother
He didn't realize that she
Had already given up
Baby, your family, they are just losers
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
The screech owls are going
Insane outside my house it is the season for
Trouble and self destruction
All of my friends, they are falling apart
But not me, I'm in control
Remember the exquisite corpse that
We created together? We laughed at the time
It seemed so impenetrable
But reading it now I think I understand
What it is that we are trying
To steal from each other
I become such a wolf around you
My thoughts go dark and all out of focus
Have no peace in my mind
Because you, you've touched me
