you said "negative thoughts breed negative thoughts"
you caught me feeding baby zero
she just cries does she despise me
I said hush, your mama ain't no hero
'cos something pulls me it tugs me awake
I'm so hungry for a piece of that cake
with the icing it's ugly this fear I can't shake
sticky fingers on a cold hard plate
but oh you heart of mine
surely we will be blessed
when I turn my thoughts to sunshine
sweet beauty at my breast
I just wanna swallow some of that sugar
there's a bitter taste in my mouth
maybe I'll gather my things together
and look for love in the heat down south
'cos I'm getting bored of this pathetic story
poor little ego needs control
in the search for the gold and the glory
I am playing hide and seek with my soul
but oh you heart of mine
surely we will be blessed
when I turn my thoughts to sunshine
sweet beauty at my breast
holy child of the roses
cut off your thorny crown
'cos we are crawling on the floor
dancing on the stars
rising from the ash of every fire burned down
and there's a river full of wonder
it's flowing at your feet
there's a whole wide world of life
a whole world in between
the martyr and the queen
