Couscous ( /ˈkʊskʊs/ or /ˈkuːskuːs/) (Berber: Seksu) is a North African Berber dish of semolina traditionally served with a meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous is a staple food throughout countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya).
Couscous was elected as the third favorite dish of French people in 2011 in a study by TNS Sofres for magazine Vie Pratique Gourmand and the first in East of France.
The name is derived from Berber seksu (meaning well rolled, well formed, rounded).
Numerous different names and pronunciations for couscous exist around the world. Couscous is /ˈkʊskʊs/ or /ˈkuːskuːs/ in the United Kingdom and only the latter in the United States. In Berber, it is known as Seksu or Kesksu and in Arabic: كسكس pronounced Kuskus. It is also known as: taam (طعام) in Algeria and Morocco; Kuseksi-in Tunisia, Libya and Kuskusi Template:كسكسي in Egypt. Keskesu in Tuareg.
One of the first written references is from an anonymous 13th-century North Africa/Andalusian cookbook, Kitāb al-tabǐkh fǐ al-Maghrib (North Africa) wa'l-Andalus (Arabic) "The cookbook of the Maghreb and Al-Andalus", with a recipe for couscous that was 'known all over the world'. To this day, couscous is known as 'the North Africa national dish'. Couscous was known to the Nasrid royalty in Granada as well. And in the 13th century a Syrian historian from Aleppo includes four references for couscous. These early mentions show that couscous spread rapidly, but generally that couscous was common from Tripolitania to the west, while from Cyrenaica to the east the main cuisine was Egyptian, with couscous as an occasional dish. Today, in Egypt and the Middle East, couscous is known, but in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya couscous is a staple. Couscous was taken from Syria to Turkey in the 16th century and is eaten in most of the southern provinces.

Turn your eyes to me
I am watching every move you make
What should I wear today on my sleeve?
And let's take a step and move away
Underground is where we'll stay for a while
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums
And give my soul away
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums
And you're my mystery
You are always at my fingertips
Without you, I'm just bones and skin
And I will lick your cuts and be your bruise
Until I fade from deepest blue into white
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums
And give my soul away
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums
And I will change my words from nouns to verbs
And never be ashamed
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums
And I am writing myself clean
And I am selling myself cheap
And I am aching for a touch or a taste
And I'm aching, aching, aching now
I'm holding, holding, holding out
I'm calling, calling, calling out to you
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums
And give my soul away
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums
And give my soul away
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums
And I will change my words from nouns to verbs
And never be ashamed
Can you hear them come?
Strings and drums.
The barrel shot lead into me
Now all can taste is the bullet
A shot hole in my vanity
And I can't find a place to put it
Well, you look like my type so get in line
Take a number and I'll give you a time
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me
I wish, I could take your face
And stitch it onto all their faces
Relationships that take your place
End up being all I hated
Well, you look like my type so get in line
Take a number and I'll give you a time
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me, this bed
Say you want me
(I'm what you want)
Say you want me
The barrel shot lead into me
Now all can taste is the bullet
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
'Cos since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Staple my feet to the gravel then run me
(Run me around)
Around like your pet dog
My organs are on the dinner table
And you were the first
(You were the first)
To ask for more
For all I care you are dead
For all I care you are dead
For all I care you are dead now
The paper people stand united
And you were the blade that
(You were the blade)
Cut them off
You're the bad taste medicine leaves
It stays on my lips
(It stays on your lips)
For far too long
For all I care you are dead
For all I care you are dead
For all I care you are dead now
For all I care you are dead
For all I care you are dead
My hair weeps for air, a shower and a comb
She's clean enough for me and looks good in yellow
Dissolved in alcohol but she's in perfect care
The queen of my worst dreams but her biggest nightmare
And counting black sheep
To reacquaint myself with sleep
And when the storm cloud comes
You're still light and you still shine yellow
Watch days evaporate like water on a stove
I'd find it easier to get blood out of a stone
I wrote this song slow to make it go mainstream
So all the people know that you're my favorite bad scene
And counting black sheep
To reacquaint myself with sleep
And when the storm cloud comes
You're still light and you still shine yellow
I can't get thoughts like this on a Monday
I think I'll sleep in anyway
I can't get thoughts like this on a Monday
I think I'll sleep in anyway
And counting black sheep
To reacquaint myself with sleep
And when the storm cloud
And counting black sheep
To reacquaint myself with sleep
And when the storm cloud comes
You're still light and you still shine yellow
The scratching of paper and pen
reminds me of a song I wrote two years back.
I remember each and every line
like a photo glued to the lids of my eyes.
The shiver of my wheezing chest
reminds me of the way I felt two years back.
And as we lose all track of time I feel her breathe
like ice on the tip of my spine.
The shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep.
The shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep.
I wait for the bed to get warm
as my eyes adjust to the darkest light form.
And as I start to drift away
you're the shake that pulls me back to this state.
The shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep.
The shake before I sleep,
the shake before I sleep,
The secretest sound
Why can't I say
"Here's to you
And me"
into the silence as I sleep
Kiss me soft
To the sound of rain
I'll never hear above the screams of your grave
What did you fear?
Can you hear
When I call?
Do you see
That I breathe as I fall?
Can I keep it inside?
I'll tell the truth
"Here's to you
Darling, and to the romance that you (speak)?"
Kiss me soft
To the sound of rain
I'll never hear above the screams of your grave
What did you fear?
Can you hear
When I call?
Do you see
That I breathe as I fall?
Kiss me
Softly
As the rain falls
My life represents you
Kill me
Quickly
Raptured at the.
See me burn
What did you fear?
Can you hear
When I call?
Do you see
That I breathe as I fall?
Just What did you fear?
Can you hear
When I call?
Do you see
He just threw out all of his old clothes and all the music that he owns.
It's time for his yearly change of style
And she speaks with a British accent.
The keyboard is her favourite instrument.
The drinks are cheap and vinyl's cool. What do you think of my new shoes?
And you know me and I know you. Yeah, we do.

And they both go to all of the same clubs where everyone takes all the same drugs and talks about how they're so fucked up.
And they try to get up and dance but they're all wearing spray on pants. It was a sight to be seen now wonder who they'll be next week.
The drinks are cheap and vinyl's cool. What do you think of my new shoes?
And you know me and I know you. Yeah, we do.

You come in hailstones in summer
Sliding ice along the sunburn,
I can see the moon and it's midday, midday,
The little hand on the big clock,
Is moving forwards then backwards,
This is my resolution Wednesday, Wednesday,
And I'll set my alarm to three thousand and two,
Cause I've been waiting years for this,
And I'll be waiting here for you,
And I will freeze my body until they find a cure,
Cause I've been waiting years for this,
And I'll be waiting here for you,

It's time to show your colours
in this shade of green and blue are you
I missed the raining summer
it was taken from me all too soon
I walked away
to show yourself to you
go to the place
that helps my mind get through
I walked away
to show yourself to you
go to the place
I went out last night to a place where
The beautiful give death stares
So cold, you can feel the ice form on your bones
Dressed up like you're in a movie
Your effort is amusing, tonight
But you'd look better if I was blind
Didn't you enjoy yourself?
They held you up and put us down
Let me know the next time you'll be here
So I can stay home
You're living like you're on TV
Like a protected species
Uh-oh, I would love to see you when you're old
Just like winter roses in bloom
I'll die before I'm like you
In time, they will all know just how hard you tired
Didn't you enjoy yourself
They held you up and put us down
Let me know the next time you'll be here
So I can stay home
Didn't you enjoy yourself
They held you up and put us down
Let me know the next time you'll be here
So I can stay home
So I can stay home
Stay there forever in your place
Where your friends are kinder to your face
Your clothes are all you have
And I'm sorry that your life's that bad
Stay there forever in your place
Where your friends are kinder to your face
Glamour is all you have
And I'm sorry that your life's that -- I said,
Start with a bang, dead end, hang on for your life
It's too late for me, you're still alive
Where did the darkside take me?
I've taken the easy way out, all night
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
You drag me down to your hell
Between your thighs
I feel sickened you're inside my stomach, eating you're way out
So start running for your life, alright
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
Run for your life
(I never thought you'd change me)
'Cause I'm still alive
(Now I've got a chance to breathe)
Run for your life
'Cause I'm still alive
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
Fire in the breeze
A bitter omen for us all
And if you love me
Why don't you feel it when I fall?
Fire in the breeze
This is a toast to all the people listening
I hope it gets stuck in your head
So tap your feet and click, click, click your fingers
Let's make the rest of the world care
I want a song that gets attention
This is the way it goes
So hope you'll play it on your station
Dodo's and WoahOh's, WoahOh's
So hit the lights and turn the record up now
I hope you hear this in your sleep
Spin off the typical I miss you baby
Who would've thought we were so deep
I want a song that gets attention
This is the way it goes
So hip you'll play it on your station (Dodo's and WoahOh's),
We'll grab a drink and kill our brain cells
Sing all the words we know
We're bringing back the lovers music (Dodo's and WoahOh's)
WoahOh, WoahOh, woahoh...

I've got a frustration
With higher education
The theory of creation is dumbing me down
And yes I've got an issue with the current situation
Going on in the country whose name I can't pronounce
Being negative is the best
I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed
Give my love to my enemies
I'm paranoid and that's ok with me
The earth is getting warmer
Soon it will be a sauna
And we will have to move our things to outer space
Look at all the slaves
Making jackets out of suede
The corporations run the world and I can't complain
Being negative is the best
I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed
Give my love to my enemies
I'm paranoid and that's ok with me
La la la la
Incurable diseases
And followers of Jesus
Are trying to end contraception are they insane?!
The sexist and the racist
Are loving all the hate
And the homophobe, homophobes, homophobes are secretly gay...
Being negative is the best
I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed
Give my love to my enemies
I'm paranoid and that's ok with me
Being negative is the best
I'm feeling so damn happy that I'm depressed
Give my love to my enemies
I'm paranoid and that's ok with me
I dug you up this morning
and took you home,
to have you here beside me,
cold but close.
I made my mind up last night,
that heaven just can? t have you.
I made you breakfast but you would not eat,
so I took your black dress off and washed you clean.
I made mind up last night that heaven just can? have you.
The sheets are creased
from your last day,
a silhouette of where you lay.
They? ll find your headstone in the yard,
with your black dress and my guitar.
I? ll carry you back to your grave
where you and I will always stay.
Close the casket it gets dark;
I've lost my voice, I've said all I have to say
You're thick as porcelain, as clear as cellophane
I miss the nervous shake, I miss the way it hurts
The way it killed to think that I had you first
That I had you first
So then I force a smile, I take the stage
Now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate
I'm losing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes, I see the chemicals
You're the whitest white, you've become a ghost
You're dead to me, so why can't I let you go?
The phone is like a knife, I drive into my ear
I had a love affair with distance and with fear
The bus is like a hearse driving me from her
She's as black as white, she the perfect curse
She's the perfect curse
So then I force a smile, I take the stage
Now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate
I'm losing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes, I see the chemicals
You're the whitest white, you've become a ghost
You're dead to me, so why can't I let you go?
And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie
You could come down on me
And if you saved my life, how could I survive
You're the one who made me this way
So then I force a smile, I take the stage
Now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate
I'm losing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes, I see the chemicals
You're the whitest white, you've become a ghost
Staring out across the floor, this
is what we're fighting for... for you.
Taste the sweat get off you knees;
it doesn't matter if I scream,
because you'll see.
That when we play the beat,
it's what I live for; it takes everything
away from me. So let it be, this is
who I am, and it takes everything
away from me...
There's nothing that I would love more,
than to be a part of your scene,
I'll take a needle to my skin,
anger is the brand new thing
it's so in...
That when we play the beat,
it's what I live for; it takes everything
away from me. So let it be, this is
who I am, and it takes everything
away from me... yeah
I used to think that, we were all the
same but now I see, that you're so
much better, maybe we're not cut
out for your scene.
When we play the beat,
it's what I live for; everything
away from me. So let it be, this is
who I am,
so when we play the beat,
it's what I live for; it takes everything
away from me. So let it be, this is
who I am, and it takes everything
away from me...
everything away from me,
Ambulance Sirens and
Men in White
I feel you squeeze my hand
Your grip is tight
After I'll fall asleep
I'll leave this place
But I will be back here soon
To keep you safe
And you feel the room get cold
But it's just me watching over you
And I'll guide you like the lighthouse guides the boat
Never be alone
Waiting for good news now
But it won't come
Life is the darkest cloud
And you're the sun
And you feel the room get cold
But it's just me watching over you
And I'll guide you like the lighthouse guides the boat
Never be alone
And you feel the room get cold
But it's just me watching over you
And I'll guide you like the lighthouse guides the boat
Never be alone
Row, Row,
Row, Row,
Row, Row,
And you feel the room get cold
But it's just me watching over you
And I'll guide you like the lighthouse guides the boat
Never be alone
And you feel the room get cold
But it's just me watching over you
And I'll guide you like the lighthouse guides the boat
Never be alone
Row, Row,
Row, Row,
Row, Row,
Row, Row
I see you in the mirror
You're outshining everyone
So cold it makes me numb
I almost died again
I tied a rope around my neck
So don't you ever let go
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
That's too long
And it's like swallowing glass
It turns me inside out
I don't recognise myself at all
And I'll overdose on anything you've got
Coz I don't want to die alone
I'm taking you down
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
That's too long
Don't give up now, breathe in and out
Do you, feel it at all
We played the show, one song to go
This night is perfect.
Take out your blades,
Get out your guns.
We'll drink our poison,
Then wait and see what we become.
Hey boys grab a girl,
Let's move until the stars are gone.
Step to the rhythm,
Let's give it all we've got.
Woah-oh,
C'mon get up,
Woah-oh,
Get out your guns,
Whoa-oh,
It's all we've got,
Woah-oh.
This night is perfect.
Take out your blades,
Get out your guns.
We'll drink our poison,
Then wait and see what we become.
Hey boys grab a girl,
Let's move until the stars are gone.
Step to the rhythm,
Let's give it all we've got.
Woah-oh,
C'mon get up,
Woah-oh,
Get out your guns,
Whoa-oh,
It's all we've got,
Woah-oh.
The stars are gone,
Woah-oh,
Come on get up,
Woah-oh,
Get out your guns,
Woah-oh,
It's all we've got,
Wake up, wake up now
And live like yesterday
Wake up tomorrow
And live, just like today
See all these people
They tell you who you are
And who you should be
They've gone too far, far, far
It's for me to say
Why can't I make one mistake?
All eyes are on you
As you crawl through the crowd
They've all got secrets
But yours are worse some how
The judge's hammer
Has come down on your heart
The jury sit and wait
For your sentence to start
It's for me to say
Why can't I make one mistake?
It's for me to say
Why can't I make one mistake?
[Incomprehensible]
It's for me to say
Ateries flexing as your heart beats hard.
Down through your temples,
To your wrist and palm (clenched hard).
Stride down the catwalk,
Preaching patience,
Show the world your pitch black disguise.
Sing the songs they sing,
The words you dont mean.
When's the last time you looked inside?
Stateline to stateline, i saw you over and again.
The speakers are shaking,
It's the sound of a trend (soon to end)
Stirde down the catwalk,
Preaching patience,
Show the world your pitch black disguise.
Sing the songs they sing,
The words you dont mean.
When's the last time you looked inside?
Raise your fist and pray to them
Underground idols.
Hear the noise of a trend, soon to end.
Stride down the catwalk,
Preaching patence.
Show the world your pitch black disguise.
Sing the songs they sing,
The words you dont mean.
When's the last time you spoke your mind?
Stride down that catwalk,
Preaching patience,
Show the world your pitch black disguise.
Sing the songs they sing,
The words you dont mean.
Well, I know that we are dead
And my only regret
Is I gave you all I have
You just left
All that's left are the memories
And the pain
Because now I sleep on blades
Just to stay awake
I think it's time you listen to what I say
I don't care if it takes a million days
To get this through
Another year is almost over
I'm the one that's coming to an end, end
And all that's left are the memories
And the pain
Because now I sleep on blades
Just to stay awake
To stay awake
What did you want me to do?
I'll never wake this far away from you
And if I never sleep again
Then it will be too soon
And all that's left are the memories
And the pain
Because now I sleep on blades
Just to stay awake
To stay awake
Cheer up, it's not yet, doomsday
I won't be gone, too long
Let go, open your parachute
The wind guides us into the sun, the sun
Breathe in, open your ventilin
I can see your house from here
I felt that perfect landing place
Sing out, so, all below, can hear
Can hear, can hear, can hear
And didn't you know
That, this is what I do
And didn't you know
That we will lose
And didn't you know
That this is what I do
And didn't you know
That we will lose, we will lose
Wait while jealousy tears you apart
I'm sorry but I cannot help the way you are
That we do the things you can't
Just wait
can't you see you're being weak?
It's shallow and dark you know every time you speak
You're just lying through your teeth
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me
We are everything you wish you were
But, I'm feeling kinda concerned
we're probably friends
But you hide from consequence
Yeah you must have a lot of spare time
To put down the words that you write
But no one cares
You should put your mind to rest
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me
Get to me...
Get to me...
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me
Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see
The voices taunt me and take me all the way down.
They took my body and beat It to the ground.
And I will wash my skin for days on end
But this is stuck, this is stuck.
And I have done worse things than this before
So shut me off, shut me off tonight, tonight.
Tonight
The chemical change in me turns everything blue.
The microphone shakes as I spit words at you.
But I will scrub my skin for days on end.
But this is stuck, this is stuck
And I have done worse things than this before
So shut me off, shut me off tonight, tonight.
And I will cut my skin for days on end.
But this is stuck, this is stuck
And I have done worse things than this before
So shut me off, shut me off tonight, tonight.
Tell my if you think it'd be alright
If i could just crash here tonight
You can see i'm in no shape for driving
Anyway i've got no place to go
And you know that it might not be that bad
You're were the best i've ever had
If i hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place
Hey Jealousy (x4)
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all i really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If i hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place
Hey Jealousy
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place
Hey Jealousy (x4)
Just tell my if you think it would be alright
If i could just crash here tonight
You can see i'm in no shape for driving
Anyway i've got no place to go
And you know that it might not be that bad
You're were the best i've ever had
If i hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Yeah she took my heart
Here in this room this narrow room where life began when we were young last night
I feel your back pressed close to me and hear your steady breathing as you sleep
Then as the first soft glow of dawn moves silver grey like paint along the wall
I touch your hand and feel your ring and know this night is all we'll ever have
Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there
I know so well that this is all there is and when we leave this room it's gone
My mind is clear as we walk down the crooked little steps to the front door
A ray of sun that ricoches from off a rooftop light our stumbling way
I touch your hand and feel your ring and know this night is all we'll ever have
Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes...
Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes...
All rhymers with Alzheimers line up please,
All mommies with mind freeze please line up please,
All bloggers with comments,
Please I come in peace,
See if we can kill your amnesia by the time I leave,
All mommies I harbour for vouch for me,
Tell em bout the time all your mommas couch mommy
All hustlas who ever bought an eighth from me,
Take the time out to set the record straight for me,
Remember me, silver bullet hard top mentally
They think think I'm outta shape so I have to jog there memory,
Think with indelible ink, I let the pen go,
Verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos,
Ah, im so mental, my track record speaks for itself,
Im so instrumental,
Allow me to rekindle lets all reminisce like Mary did,
Think I have to send you a reminder,
Here it is,
[Chorus]
Reminder
Reminder,
I got it if you need it,
A reminder
Reminder
Reminder,
Think I better give you a reminder,
Reminder
Reminder,
I got it if you need it,
A reminder
Reminder
Reminder,
Cos I can give you a friendly reminder,
What the hell have you done,
To even have an opinion on what I been doing,
What the hell have y'all won,
Only thing you can identify with is losing,
10 number 1 albums in a row,
Who better than me?
Only the Beatles nobody ahead of me,
I crush Elvis in his blue suede shoes,
Made the rolling stones seem sweet as coolaid 2,
96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001 and beyond,
02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 7, 08, 09
Back to back double plat, I did what you want,
Men lie women lie, numbers don't,
Ain't nothing changed for me except the year it is,
I think have to send you a reminder, here it is
[Chorus]
Reminder
Reminder,
I got it if you need it,
A reminder
Reminder
Reminder,
Think I better give you a reminder,
Reminder
Reminder,
I got it if you need it,
A reminder
Reminder
Reminder,
Cos I can give you a friendly reminder,
Do what I done without crying in the environment and what ya'll did it in without dying my n-gga,
Rap like I rap without lying and then tying both together like iron my n-gga,
Write 16's in between running 16 businesses,
All the while showing these young punks what the business is,
As if I'm gonna let you n-ggas style on me,
As if,
Now everybody senile on me,
Go back to boonback,
Remember those button ups,
Young Hov,
Tell them ordinary Joes button up,
I destroy your 4 points O's
And Benz 500 and all points to Ohhhh,
Now you n-ggas 'memba me,
How you forget, back to johnnys album cover,
Red and blue Gucci sh-t,
Ain't nothing changed but the year it is,
I think I have to send you a reminder here it is,
I've done this one too many times now,
Woke to a face without a name,
Come too close to the flame,
And tell me how I am so different,
And how my voice puts you to sleep,
Your words don't,
They don't mean a thing.
Time to,
Confess,
Will you,
Forgive me.
I'm not,
As bad,
As you,
All think.

(two three four)
Time to,

Forget me.
I'm not,
As bad,
As you,
Flowers grow outside the house
They rise beneath the clouds
It's nature's fault, oh
And how can something so unique
Grow from dirty seeds, I ask you now? Oh
Cuts and burns decorate the earth
When will it be our turn?
Our turn...
Cause it's getting easier to die everyday
Getting easier to die everyday
And it's getting easier to die everyday
It's getting easier to die everyday
Catch the fish and throw them back
The snakes are on attack
They've shed their skin, oh
And I will lay inside your bed
Until my heart is dead
My heart isn't yet, oh
Cuts and burns decorate the earth
When will it be our turn?
Our turn...
Cause it's getting easier to die everyday
Getting easier to die everyday
And it's getting easier to die everyday
It's getting easier to die everyday
Ooooooooooooooooo...
Cuts and burns decorate the earth
When will it be our turn?
Our turn...
Cause it's getting easier to die everyday
And it's getting easier to die everyday
And it's getting easier to die everyday
It's getting easier to die everyday
