lyrics

I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind

Dionysus, peel me like a blood orange
Dionysus, resin in your hair
Honeysuckle crushed beneath your thumbnail
Awful smoke in the air

And the god who comes
And the god who leaves
That’s the god for me
And the god with wine stains
On his teeth
That’s the god for me

I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind

Dionysus, beautiful in ivy
Dionysus, buried in a field
Keep me coming back to the window
Is it still my face I find there

And the god who comes
And the god who leaves
That’s the god for me
And the god with bloodstains
On his teeth
That’s the god for me

I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be in my mind
