​​painted pigeon Lyrics by Mieke (NZL)

Frau Eva

2023

[Verse 1]
Paint myself white
So that I look like a dove
Sing their songs
Can't harmonize with one
They'll never know how I talk to the moon
And ask to glow just as she does
Open my mouth and I cough out the words
Of someone that I never was
[Refrain]
Someone that I never was
They love what I am, who I'm not
[Verse 2]
Act like I'm
Made out of nails and bricks
So I let them
Throw all their stones for their kicks
They'll never know that their stones imbed in my bones
And with me they'll always be
Through all the nights I've been coating them white
But I still see all of the grey
Hum a discordant tune for the birds and the moon
While I'm carving out my own grave
From the rocks that they spit from their jaws
For the pigeon that I always was
[Refrain]
They love what I am, who I'm not
They love what I am, who I'm not
They love what I am, who I'm not
They love what I am, who I'm not
They love what I am, who I'm not
Love what I am, who I'm–
