Hugo Grayling - I Do Not Wish Lyrics

Why are you making that noise
Why are you starting that machine
I can hear it in my bones
I can hear it in my dreams
And are you starving that child
While you're arguing with me
And is your anger too loud
To hear the rest of us scream

You need to see it in the news, now, don't you
It's the only way you can take my word for anything
In this world
You need to see it in the big bold letters
Handed down from the mouths of the only ones you'll believe

Go on and cripple my voice
Go on and call my bluff
Go on and baffle my mathematics
So I can never add up
Go on and call me a name
Go on and make me a child
Go on and terrify my pain
Until it can't sing out

Even as light makes darkness flee
Did you think you could trap that ghost in me
You're expecting to revise my memory
But I'm free-I'm too free

Can you cancel my past
Can you revise my will
Can you edit my experience
Can you metabolize my pill
Can you inhabit my mind
Can you control my gait
Can you suicide my soul
To keep your narrative straight
