Laertes Lyrics

I wanna mean something to you

I want you to hear my words

And be more than amused

And slightly abused

I want you to hear my thoughts like the radio

Breathe me in stereo

I wanna love you

I wanna feel how Ophelia feels

Mad with love, but deeper still

I wanna feel the weight

Of a generation's creed

But like Laertes coming home

I have no family

But a duty bestowed

I'm no woman, I'm no lover, I'm no whore

I'm no siren dying sweetly in a pond

Can you just love me

Without getting annoyed

Not one of the boys

Cause if I loved you

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I think I'd know

I wanna feel how Ophelia feels

Mad with love, but deeper still

I wanna feel the weight

Of a generation's creed

But like Laertes coming home

I have no family

But a duty bestowed

I'm no woman, I'm no lover, I'm no whore

I'm no siren dying sweetly in a pond

I'm no ingenue who dies a perfect god
