Cosmetic Stain

Cats Are Aliens


I've had to accept in the space of a day 
I'm wishing for granted and taken away 
A photocopy of health, breast-feeding lies 
I've got wooden arms yet I'm meant to fly 

Can you go down 
It doesn't hurt if you slow down 
You're no different when you go down 
When you drown 

Sit by the fireside preparing to burn 
Give the impression of wanting to learn 
Now my mind's running out, shut down for good 
Was it something I said? 
Or something I should? 

Can you go down 
It doesn't hurt if you slow down 
You're no different when you go down 
When you drown 

Inside or impure 
Inside or impure 
Inside or impure 
I'm the wrong side of insecure 

A fit's like a seizure, not like a glove 
Dust myself down after falling through love 
It's too slow to be right, too cruel to be kind 
Welcome to the first junction in my one-track mind. 

Can you go down 
It doesn't hurt if you slow down 
You're no different when you go down 
When you drown 

Inside or impure 
Inside or impure 
Inside or impure 
I'm the wrong side of insecure 

You say... 
you say... 
You say... 
You say... 
...that I'll remain... 
...a cosmetic stain.
