New rasputin
Have they got you hurting?
Hot on your heels
Baby, they know you got the feels
Not yet checkmate
Well reinvent, baby recreate
Sweets, you’re nothing to them, to them
Fuck ‘em
Be as you always were
When you never even gave them a glance
Be what you always were
‘Cos they never gave you a real, never gave you a real chance
In this arcane arcade
It’s games you never played
In this arcane arcade
It’s friends you never made
You tortured poster art
Of who you not are
Write this in fire:
Remember what it is desire
It’s not burnt trash
Floating up ash
It’s in every atom of flesh
Uh huh
Be as you always were
When you never even gave them a glance
Be what you always were
‘Cos they never even gave you, never gave you a real chance
In this arcane arcade
It’s games you never played
In this suckling parade
It’s friends you never laid
In this arcade
Ball-less pool hall
Scared persons’ haunt
It’s all a tide against
What you want
Dive under
And move on
Mmm hmmm
Be what you always were
‘Cos they never gave you a real, never gave you a real chance
In this arcane arcade
It’s games you never played
In this arcane arcade
It’s friends you never played
In this arcade
It’s all a tide against
It’s all a tide against
It’s all a tide against
What you want
Dive under
And move on
