Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm wasted, losing time
I'm a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine
I want him but we're not right
[Verse 2]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator
[Verse 3]
I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place
To lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave to follow
To follow, to follow, to follow
[Verse 4]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree I'm a suffocator
Suffocator, suffocator, oh no
[Verse 5]
I'm sorry if I smothered you
I'm sorry if I smothered you
I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside
My mother, never to come out
Written by: Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli, Remi Aguilella
