If they call me a child, it?ll be over and done with, and I won?t have to dirty myself A bit of photosynthesis for me, for you genes that match. I guess people like helpless situations ?Don?t lie to me? When I cry I feel I could get anything with these white hands of mine The answer is pure. We?re attracted to each other. This is how I love you, I think. How old do I have to be to rid myself of loneliness and fear? If I have a child will I at last be rid of my suffering? You adore your adolescence, I take advantage of my rebellious stage Now we like our wordplay, don?t we? ?Don?t lie to me? When I cry I can overrule any law, and do as I wish The answer is cruel. We?re fooling each other. This is how I love you, I think When I know more than this, I can?t sleep at night, and fail in my double suicide In my memories an oxidized mouthwash, camouflage I?m the same as a child whining for something that isn?t there. Mother, are you ashamed of this mixed child of yours? I loved you.
