When I think of 
fates worse than this 
all I can think of 
Is something you said 

You said we were golden 
bright like the sun 
(bass notes A-G plays for the next two lines) 
now I am stranded 
knowing I'm not the one 
(bass notes pattern A-B resumes) 

An ocean of anger 
flowing through me 
bloodstained and broken 
from what I've failed to see 

Just like a snake charmer 
you led me astray 
living in distress 
hoping help is on the way 

 
Dm                Em 
In the midst of a storm 
              Am          G 
searching for shelter 
Dm          Em 
I came upon 
           Am           G 
one single feather 
Dm            Em 
A halfhearted wish 
              Am          G 
for something better 
Dm         Em 
Gracefully cursed 
  Am 
I thirst 


Attached to the sorrow 
I'm dyed in the womb(*) 
as I am in my blood 
yet so vulnerable 

But after I'm gone 
once I finally leave 
you will be left alone 
to the wolves and the thieves 


Dm                  Em 
In the midst of the storm 
              Am          G 
searching for shelter 
Dm      Em 
I came upon 
           Am           G 
one single feather 
Dm            Em 
I held on and wished 
              Am          G 
for something better 
Dm         Em 
Gracefully cursed 
  Am  
I thirst
