Born Of Desire

(album: XX - 2001)

Wait!

I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed? (Can I get a little heart?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real

I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed? (Can I get a little heart?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real

Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me

Pleasing dreams are few and far between
The good and badly needed breaks in life
Just so you don't hate yourself

Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me

If you believe in some kind of master work
This was all meant for something

I am truly sorry
Although I'm really laughing inside
'Cause I know
This all comes out to nothing

I am truly sorry
Although I'm really laughing inside
'Cause I know
This all comes out to nothing

Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me

Go on believe, life's some kind of master work
This was all meant for something

Sorry, I'm laughing inside for nothing
Sorry, I'm laughing inside for nothing

Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Filthy in the alley with a baseball bat

Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Filthy in the alley with a baseball bat

Sorry, I'm laughing inside for nothing

It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast, died so young

Pleasing dreams are few and far between
The good and badly needed breaks in life
Just so you don't hate yourself

I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed? (Can I get a little heart?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real

Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you fire, walk with me

Born of desire, conspired, denial
Fuel the fire, bring the [?]
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you fire, walk with me

Born of desire!
