Lyrics for Heat

Then we saw Mishima's dog Trapped between the rocks Blocking the waterfall The songs of dust The world would end And night was always falling The peacock in the snow And I tell myself I don't know who I am And I tell myself I don't know who I am My father ran the prison My father ran the prison I can only love you By hating him more That's not the truth It's too big a word He believed That love is theft Love and whores The theft of love And I tell myself I don't know who I am And I tell myself I don't know who I am My father ran the prison My father ran the prison But I am a seer I am a liar I am a seer But I am a liar My father ran the prison My father ran the prison
