Fingerhold

I do what I want to
the world is my oyster
blank sheet of paper
invent a new language

If you make me king I’ll set you free again
if I don’t succeed you’ll know that no one can
(no one can)

I do what I want to
(Is anyone more selfish ?)
the world is my oyster
(you’re allergic to shellfish)
blank sheet of paper
(now half-mutilated)
invent a new language
(but no one else can speak it)

If you make me king I’ll set you free again
if I don’t succeed you’ll know that no one can
(no one can)

I know you well
know your quirks
know your talents
know you hurt yourself
to occupy your mind

You know what is best
and you silenced dissent
you imprisoned the invaders you invited as guests
