John Morgan Askew - Not Harmless lyrics

I came clean and there you went Stitching up every single seam I split You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls Black tie on the floor Paper-thin dress on a desk chair Match wits, march you home Cigarette breath sugar-spun voice [Chorus] You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird But I am no prize, I am not harmless We charmed the light into doing our work But it was the dark we called beautiful I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room I'll teach you how to talk 'till your teeth come loose [Chorus] You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird But I am no prize, I am not harmless Tell me, tell me, tell me Would it make you feel better now If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me I'm hysterical? Match wits, bury my will Time will knock you off quick, time will take you out And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase The bramble sprung back in the hero's face [Chorus] You can pull me aside, and I'll whisper my apologies But I am no prize, I am not harmless
