I Am Who I Am - Firkin

Lie to me or lay, my heart

On a scaffold where you wish me be

Tie me to your rising moon

You rise your tide, your icy sea

Drown the moment, drown the sigh

And drown the truth we can’t defy

Despite the bruises and the gores

We can’t let go and can’t deny.

I am who I am

You say I’m playing with your soul

To kill the love I can’t abide

Within my chest, within my mind

Within my memories far behind

When I behold you going by

I turn away and try to find

A harbour I withdraw my sails

Seek shelter from your stormy way.

I am, who I am

And you question me and say that I’m a wreck

I’m a cunt, I’m a leech and I’m the presence of the lack

I’m a stunt, I should go, I should leave

and let you go and I should do, what you will,

for you’re right and I am wrong

I’m fake, I’m a liar and pretender I am weak, you are strong

I’m a drunk, and I’m a punk, and I’m a junkie

I’m a skunk, I’m an uneasy disease from which you want

Want to come, come round.
