Lost My Name

Paroles de « Lost My Name »

I live in a quiet apartment
Just got here, it’s been an hour now
I’ve already checked every corner
But it still don’t feel like home somehow

I sharpen my claws, I clean myself up
Then hunger hits, and I feel it rise
There’s a hunt inside this heavy air
Something wild is waking in my eyes

I am a cat, that’s only natural
In the dark I feel like royalty
A mouse? It’s hunt, it’s do or die
A goldfish? That’s a feast for me!

They call me Meumeu... what a stupid name
I am not a fucking cow
It’s so dead in here tonight
But outside there’s storm and danger

I’ll go, I’ll go into the alley
Where my heart keeps calling me
No way I’m staying locked inside
This little head that’s killing me
I’m a rebel, I’m a feline
And I disappear into the night

THE CAT I WAS BEFORE IS DEAD!
DIRTY PARTIES, SWOLLEN HEAD
ME, I’M CHEMICAL FOR THE NIGHT
THERE’S FIRE BURNING IN MY MIND!!

They talk about claws, they talk about balls
And I can feel the grave they dug for me
What’s that thing, a veterinarian?
He wants me dead, I see it clearly!

Run if you can, go save your life
I slip through shadow, out of sight
The alleyway’s my movie screen
Lights up, action , roll tonight!

I’ll go, I’ll go into the alley
Where my heart keeps calling me
No way I’m staying locked inside
This poisoned head inside of me
I’m a rebel, I’m a feline
And I go for the throat of the enemy

I saw the headlights way too late
A flash of white, a twist of fate
I tried to run, I tried to fly
I hit the road and lost my name

On my ninth and final life
I almost had a place to stay
But I was gone before midnight
Face-down under all that rain

I used to hate that name
Now I wish I’d let it stay
I almost had a home with them
I should’ve never run away
