Kwa-Zulu-Natal
The way the wind blows
Tokoloshe haunt
The sun in my throat
The sun in my skin
These radio burns
Your lips like a rock
Your sandal-kissed heart
That's my diagnosis and I guess that I deserved it.
My brain is knock-knock ginger and my pupils are deserted
I stand up try to walk but then my feet just fall apart
Oh my name is Maximus, I am built of broken hearts.
Last time that you saw me, I wasn't missing this much blood
and broken fingers, but that's what I get for loving
only myself before you
(Oh, Wish Them Away)
Don't be so silly, I need them more than they need me
Don't be so hopeless, I think we can all agree to breathe in the same space for now.
That's my diagnosis and I guess that I deserved it.
My brain is knock-knock ginger and my pupils are deserted
I stand up try to walk but then my feet just fall apart
Oh my name is Maximus, I am built of broken hearts.
