As You Are Lyrics

The wretched hour we've been waiting for has come

With plastic flowers, you are praying to an electric sun

Mouth is open wide

Sharpening the knife

Do not be left with your own self

When you can choose to be someone else

Become as you are

Like seashells in the palm of your anxious hands

It brings you back to the scene

And you sing back sweetly

Do not be left with your own self

When you can choose to be someone else

Become as you are

Do not be left here by yourself

When you can choose someone else's life

But you refused it

How could you?
