lyrics

lovely in the bathroom cottoning up your nose
and sweetly, sweetly cottoning up my nose
how much messed up linen by our blood let loose ?
and up the family tree, the same old little stains

bled on my lover's cheek while we were making love
felt sorry and confused, but it didn't feel so bad
introducing the mark of my deep nature
and through every drop, our untimely bond

i've got you in my blood, i've got you down my nose
in my liver, my skin, my cells do as they're told
i'll have you on my tongue, and i'll look just like you
these signs of you can't be taken away from me
i could die from it all, but that's the glory of being your son
being proud of a disease, we'll tower over it, right ?

look at them all say i am so much of your son
yet i keep wondering who exactly were you ?
most of your legacy is mere mystery
objects out of context, what could they mean to you ?
all that i failed to know is far more puzzling now
i'd roam through the whole world to draw your image clear
those i met thanks to you are bits of you to me
as i probably am to those who search for you

i want to dance for you like a blind man would paint
