Perversions Remain

from Overcome by Catherine Corelli

/

lyrics

When I was almost starving
You gave me stones instead of bread
So when I fade you’ll star me
And give me serpents when I am dead
When I was cold and shivered
You stopped my trembling with handcuffs
As I burned you just shimmered
You heard my screams, I heard your laughs
As I bled undefeated
You stamped my heart with your despise
When I collapsed and pleaded
You punched my face and stung my eyes
I never tried to kill you
You never wanted me alive
Through your perversions I will strive
Through your perversions I will strive

Somewhat meager
Somewhat eager
I walk out of the door
Everything I left behind is perverted
It won’t be sated anymore

You are weaker
So push the trigger
Before I’m out of your sight
You can’t change me
Cuz I have already died

I’m as rich as a god
Cuz a cigarette is all that I’ve got

Don’t you hide your dreams above
Don’t you spread them beyond
Cuz you always make a muddle of love
You’re the devil in your head
You’re the hell in your life
And I’m the one who tried
To fix the bug in your mind

I can never
Change your weather
Cuz I can’t change my sun
Everything you find in me is perverted
You won’t fix it with a gun

Try to take it
Try to fake it
Before I’m out of your sight
You can’t change me
Cuz I have already died

I’m as rich as a god
Cuz a cigarette is all that I’ve got

Don’t you hide your dreams above
Don’t you spread them beyond
Cuz you always make a muddle of love
I’m the devil in your head
You’re the hell in my life
And I’m the one who tried
To fix the bug in your mind

I’m the devil to you
Because you want it

Yeah

Free the hell and push the trigger
If you don’t want me go
Will my death make you bigger
Or will it free your soul

You think you know me, coward
Because you see my back
But I just keep on walking forward
A bullet won’t kick me out of my track

I will strip you of your dismay
Drop your doubts and throw them away
I’m gonna break your deepest stereotypes
I will scrub you of your body
And when you know you are unworthy
I will spill your sins before your eyes
Perverted soul

Now I am the devil to you
Now I am your endless pain
Now I am the ordeal in you
Now I am the wretched aim

What are you waiting for
You won’t have another chance anymore
Free your hate and push the trigger
It’s just enough to become my grim reaper

But somewhere deep inside
There are things you can never hide
Your hate is daughter to your fear
And mother to my every tear

I will strip you of your dismay
Drop your doubts and throw them away
I’m gonna break your deepest stereotypes
I will scrub you of your body
And when you know you are unworthy
I will spill your sins before your eyes
Perverted soul

I can never
Change your weather
Cuz I can’t, I can’t change my sun

I will strip you of your dismay
Drop your doubts and throw them away
I’m gonna break your deepest stereotypes
I will scrub you of your body
And when you know you are unworthy
I will spill your sins before your eyes
Perverted soul

Don’t you hide your dreams above
Don’t you spread them beyond
Cuz you always make a muddle of love
You’re the devil in your head
You’re the hell in your life
And I’m the one who tried
To fix the bug in your mind

Perverted soul
So perverted

Now I am the devil to you
Now I am your endless pain
Now I am the ordeal in you
Now I am the wretched aim
