Strung Out Again

You get what you see
I saw a rich fuck giving charity
saw an evil emporer
wearing my clothes
far from the best
they might suit you better than the rest
just looking in the mirror
will make you a brave man
I know my place
hate my face
I know how I began
and how I won't end
strung out again

was a parliament of owls
flying over a city of canals
floating on the body
floating in the dark
forget what you see
some things they just change invisibly
dont' know where I'm going
I don't even want to know

I know my place
hate my face
I know how I began and how I won't end
strung out again

standing, smiling
from fantasy island
moving with my lost
reflection of me
the tide's coming in
and I'm strung out again
strung out again
