Sufjan Stevens

by Notelle

I want to write like Sufjan Stevens, make em cry with a mandolin.

Sing a song in a tongue I don’t speak with, get it down with a silver tipped pen.

 

I want to fight like old king Henry, lose a knife in my enemies throat.

See a horse as a thing I gotta break in, win a war, take an oath.

 

Find a girl who don’t wanna be Khaleesi, I can tell you she’s a liar right there,

Nothing hotter than a Mad King’s daughter, who is smarter than her father, with that ice white hair.

 

Can I rise from the grave like Lazarus, I wanna know what it’s like to be dead,

Let me see who’ll be crying at my funeral, wonder who’ll laughing, who’ll be happy that I left.

 

Me me me myself myself and lies

Oh so troubled Gemini

I could change my face a hundred times

Oh so troubled Gemini

 

I could walk through the village like Hester, turning heads, dripping wet with sin,

Cause I would rather live my life with a proud loud letter, be a whore than a bore with the Puritans.

 

Maybe I could be the same as Samwise, I don’t have to be the hero in the end,

Share in all the pain, and the struggle and the worry, but the end of every story,

give the glory to a friend.

 

Me me me myself myself and lies

Oh so troubled Gemini

I could change my face a hundred times

Oh so troubled Gemini

 

I can make you love me oh depending who I choose

Make it easy living, no identity to lose

 

Me me me myself myself and lies

I could change my face a hundred times

Oh so troubled Gemini
