Buy My Ashes

from The Selves We Bury by Etheric Felines

lyrics

(Acid Orphan)
I wanna be painted and costumed, intoxicatingly perfumed
I wanna be polished and purchased, worshiped in churches
I wanna be cloned and counterfeited
outfitted with the finest armor, never outwitted
Wanna get dissected, feel collected
See figments of me reflected in stranger's eyes and feel connected
My dad he told me never argue with the weather,
but still I'm trying to find a way to live forever
I want my presence to excite a million flashes
Want a billionaire to buy my ashes
But I don't even like myself that much these days
and I'm afraid that I ain't got the muscle to shuffle my fate

(Cicada O'Kain)
You don't know me
You don't own me
Say that you don't know me
Say I don't exist
That I don't think
And I've never been thinking
You took my voice and autonomy
Cuz you don't know me
And you don't wanna know

(Acid Orphan)
Wanna be a Byzantine beauty queen, waving from the mezzanine
A soldier queen, clever and lean, like Artemisia, Persian diva
Never having no babies cuz I run the fucking navy
But I don't even like myself that much these days
and I'm afraid that I ain't got the muscle to shuffle my fate
I wanna hibernate in cyberspace
I shoulder acclimate though, fade into a cause
Fuck applause
I should disappear into some career
Find a husband like my cousins
Guzzle this potion
Hold someone close until I overdose on oxytocin

(Cicada O'Kain)
You don't know me
You don't own me
Say that you don't know me
Say I don't exist
That I don't think
And I've never been thinking
You took my voice and autonomy
Cuz you don't know me
And you don't wanna know

(Cicada O'Kain and Flesh Prince)
No you don't wanna know
Cuz you don't wanna know
You don't know me
You don't want to
You don't know me
And you don't wanna know
And you don't wanna know
