I Am Still What I Meant To Be - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I am still what I meant to be

And I’m losing my mind

But our burdens must lessen

Though our enemies thrive

Crowded the hall with stock women parts

Candles were lit, burdened the hearts

Felt a bad vibe kick in just then

Things seemed to smolder, enclosing us in

I am still what I meant to be

And I’m losing my mind

But our burdens must lessen

And our enemies die

Down in the basement, up in the attic

I promised you that I would not stay sick

Here is the hand now placed over the heart

Admire it lover, rend it apart

I am still what I meant to be

And I’m losing my mind

But our burdens must lessen

And our enemies die

Regardless of all I will not stay in

Off to the market I’m going again

Kicking the dust, waving at all

Covering the face, starting to bawl

I am still what I meant to be

And I’m losing my mind

But our burdens must lessen

And our enemies die
