Sympathy Magic

Memory fails me, names and faces blur

There is only after or before

Am I so different, have I changed?

I do not recognize my face

The scar fades but pulls inside

Tugging at me all the time

Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out

Crouched in a ball gown

Anxious and ashamed

The vague humiliations of fame

I do not find worthiness in virtue

I no longer try to be good

It didn't keep me safe

Like you told me that it would

So come on, tear me wide open

A terrible gift

Let the chorus console me

Sympathy magic

And light coming in the window just so

And the wind through my fingers

The only God that I know

And it does not want me on my knees to believe

Head high, arms wide

Aching-aching-aching

And alive

And alive

So I don't have to be worthy

I no longer try to be good

It didn't keep me safe

Like you told me that it would

So come on, tear me wide open

'Til I'm losing my mind

'Til I cannot contain it

La-da-da-da-da-da-da

So come on, come on, I can take it

Give me everything you got

What else, what else, what else, what else

So come on, come on, I can take it

Give me everything you got

What else, what else, what else, what else

Sympathy magic

Sympathy magic

So come on, come on, I can take it

Sympathy magic

Sympathy magic

So come on, come on, I can take it

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Sympathy magic (come on)

Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Sympathy magic (come on)

Ah
