Sympathy Magic (Chamber Version)

Memory fails me, names and faces blur
There is only after or before
Am I so different?
Have I changed?
I do not recognise my face
The scar fades but pulls inside tugging at me all the time

Chewing on a feeling
And spitting it out
Crouched in a ballgown
Anxious and ashamed
The vague humiliations of fame

I do not find worthiness a virtue
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe, like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open
A terrible gift
Let the chorus console me
Sympathy Magic

And light coming in the window just so
And the wind through my fingers
The only God that I know
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
Head high, arms wide
Aching, aching, aching and alive and alive

So I don't have to be worthy
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe, like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open 'til I'm losing my mind
'Til I cannot contain it
La da la da da da da

So come on, come on I can take it
Give me everything you've got
What else, what else, what else, what else
So come on, come on I can take it
