Interfere

from Hippocampus by Beth Patterson

/

lyrics

I was born to interfere
A hero’s tale dethroned
A maelstrom knocking fences down
To pastures not my own

A crow that robs a songbird’s nest
Does not cry out in sleep
And some subversive spectacle
Is how I earn my keep

Know I would do anything
To put to rest your fear
Even if it means to disappear…

I am not the girl next door
But no need for alarm
I’m just a simple heretic
Who wants to do no harm

All I want is clemency
Or else some peace of mind
Can I mute the anguish
Of the blameless flying blind?

My mind will not go crazy
And my body will not die
I am the drug you said you’d never try…

I would challenge madmen’s lies
That rise up like a flood
I would risk my sanity
And purity of blood

With one eye on the hourglass
The other sheds a tear
I can’t contain repentance
Exit solace, enter fear

The truth that still entraps you
The chains that set you free
The poison that might save you, and there’s me…

I was born to interfere…
I was born to interfere...
