Body Bag Pt. 2 Ode to Sufjan Stevens by The Vanity Project (UK) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've already waited too long to cause such a commotion
I feel it in my face and in my hands
I've never sung this song with quite so much passion
As if it would help me to understand
[Bridge 1]
And cherish me my dear
While I am still breathing, I'm bleeding inside
These feelings that I fear
Bringing the razor to my breast, who knows best? Not I
{Verse 2]
And everything happened so fast, like a supervolcano
Immersed in you, I knew not what was real
And you replied at last, but I was too busy
Surrounding myself with what I cannot feel
{Bridge 2]
And was there a choice
From before I was nurtured in a culture of rot?
And was there a voice
Crying "I don't know what's in me, oh mummy, I'm lost"?
[Verse 3]
When I am dead, will they bury my body
In something that they recognised as me?
My compass is flawed, and I am lost in the valley
With binoculars that limit what I see
Oh Marie, what's happening to me?
I've already waited too long to cause such a commotion
I feel it in my face and in my hands
I've never sung this song with quite so much passion
As if it would help me to understand
[Bridge 1]
And cherish me my dear
While I am still breathing, I'm bleeding inside
These feelings that I fear
Bringing the razor to my breast, who knows best? Not I
{Verse 2]
And everything happened so fast, like a supervolcano
Immersed in you, I knew not what was real
And you replied at last, but I was too busy
Surrounding myself with what I cannot feel
{Bridge 2]
And was there a choice
From before I was nurtured in a culture of rot?
And was there a voice
Crying "I don't know what's in me, oh mummy, I'm lost"?
[Verse 3]
When I am dead, will they bury my body
In something that they recognised as me?
My compass is flawed, and I am lost in the valley
With binoculars that limit what I see
Oh Marie, what's happening to me?
