Burning In Our Name

One moment on the eyes, a lifetime on the frontal lobe, there’s
So many old mistakes I can’t be bothered to atone for
So many victims of my innocence that never will come back
For each I scratch a prayer with care into the bathroom mirror
And now my face looks like I spent the night with Freddie Krueger
Well even he would run a mile from the morning I’ve just had
There’s another eyesore coming up ahead
There’s another spaceship coming in to land
There’s another place we tried to hide in where
The walls are caving in
You took me to the bar to drown my solace in tequila
All metaphorical, but at the time felt pretty real so
We drank and drank and drank until it couldn’t breathe and didn’t move
A throwback to the time we vandalised that Dalí painting
The same relief, the same lack of remorse, the same adrenaline
The same idea that we were doing something someone had to do
There’s another eyesore coming up ahead
There’s another spaceship coming in to land
There’s another place we tried to hide in where
The walls are caving in
Caught up in a maze of hedonists and lies
Putting all our faith in devils in disguise
Just trying to escape when everything’s on fire
And burning in our name
I had a dream that you and me had reached the Western border
Under illusion we could overcome the liberal order
It wasn’t easy throwing caution to the wind, I fed you
Lies, lies, lies, don’t say goodbye
A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the legal papers
I think we’ll never bore of sleeping with our own dictators
I think I’ll never find a reason not to live under my
Lies, lies, lies, don’t say goodbye to me
At night I like to watch the spiders dancing on my ceiling
They do the paso doble, I wonder whether they’ll hurt me
I never know if it’s the teeth or if it’s eyes that I can see
There’s another eyesore coming up ahead
There’s another spaceship coming in to land
There’s another place we tried to hide in where
The walls are caving in
Caught up in a maze of hedonists and lies
Putting all our faith in devils in disguise
Just trying to escape when everything’s on fire
And burning in our name…

Anna Madonna, don’t pull the plug on me
Don’t make me the victim, cuz it’s been a hard few weeks
I know they pull you in every direction
I know the music gets a little loud
I know that life’s a pretty pricey vacation
But don’t take it out on me
It’s nothing to do with me
Anna Madonna, don’t shut the door on me
Don’t block all your windows, so nobody knows you’re here
I know you’re sick of the political climate
And every day you fight a hopeless war
I know you think your girlfriend hates you in secret
But don’t take it out on me
It’s nothing to do with me
Anna Madonna, you best walk away from me
You’re killing me slowly, I’m finding it hard to breathe
I know you see me as a shoulder to cry on
But I could never carry so much weight
And Mother Earth is an indefinite pronoun
So don’t take it out on me
Don’t pull the plug on me
Don’t take it out on me
It’s nothing to do with me
Don’t place the blame with me
Don’t pull the plug on me
