lyrics

i dont need any villians
ive had enough for multiple movies
i dont care for the disapproving
and for anyone condemning
if i could repent
im sure they would have made me

cause i have you next to me
you still my shaking body and you tell me to breathe
you remind me that i dont need
no hateful voices that i feed
unless i feel like being evil
just for fun
but sometimes i wish the world loved me as much as you do

i dont care about the hecklers
the vigilantes dont get to me
i know that if we show them fear
it draws them in like rabid maddened deer
and echo low voices writhing in the ear

its institutional
the sacreligion of our constitutional
under systematic poisoning we do not see
the length of time that weve been here
and what powers once were held
what righteous power
sometimes i wish the world loved me as much as they used to

i know my happiness is out there
i want to eat it again
i want us to dream of living well
against all odds and what they peddle
making us seem invasive
to their marketplaces

you look up the so called avant dimension
and you crank up the protocol of haunt protection
i see the brakes that you pull to halt the engine
but its only when i make it there that i see the danger
that was imminent

i dont need anybody’s scorn
im proofing myself against the cruellest rejection
time and money may be spent
on loving you and hating rent
but rent is falling out of favor
and, at least for me, you could never
sometimes i wish the world loved me
as much as i love you
as much as i love you
as much as i love you
sometimes i wish the world loved me
as much as you do
i know you do
thats a big thing to know
i know you do
i know you do
