Benjamin Lyrics

Cut me once I'll bleed for more

Than you bargained for.

A symptom of a static score

that used to be ignored.

Maybe if you meet my gaze,

you'll be displaced like me.

Maybe you'll just see right through me,

and head for Benjamin.

If I had been a boy,

They would have called me Benjamin.

I hate him, and I miss him, and I want to hold his hand again.

Maybe my victimhood would have stalled,

If my childhood hadn't been thawed by Benjamin.

Benjamin's a friend to all,

He once said I could sit with him.

Back when I was really small,

I used to go to school and then.

Sometimes when I close my eyes,

I have a best friend, his name was Benjamin.

But he broke me, and he loved me, and he found me,

Through my ages.

A systematic glitch inside a patriotic ditch that is Britain.

Long live his reign,

will Eve song come again?

When all we hear is Benjamin...

Now roll me up a cigarette,

Let me do something I'll regret.

Pretentious at my very best,

At worst, barely a poet.

A quarter life,

but I'm pretty happy with mine.

It's getting quieter,

Where is Benjamin?

Where is Benjamin?
