Lyrics Maria McKee

Maria McKee

Human

Wanted to make you into a demigod

Superhuman so you'd never die

Die to me, my golden boy

I was so in awe of you I was silenced inspired changed fired

A graven image in my heart

You more than human to me

And I'm alone now with my compulsions

And I'm desperate drained from all those tantrums

I don't exist without a lover/fix

And I'm nothing without a heart overstuffed to the brim of bursting

With murder in its wake

And you more than human

I can't face

If I make you a god

Mythologize this bond

And all those other gods I use to fill that spot to overdose

Revel in the flood, and my veins have turned against my blood

And you the stand-in saviour

And I've tricked you into staying...

More than human to me
