To Possess is to Be in Control Lyrics by Puce Mary

The Drought

2018

It makes me weak
To watch you gaze and go on with no expression on your face
Like a puppet
It makes me weak
To watch you gaze at the world
Like there's nothing left
It makes me sick
To open my body to you
To give you all I have
If I can possess you
Like I possess my own body
To possess is to be in control
I put my hands on your body, on your flesh
I feel the history of that body
When I put my hands on your body
I feel the history of that body
(To possess, to possess)
If I could attach your blood vessels
So we could become each other, I would
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
(To possess, to possess)
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
To look out your eyes
Forever have my lips glued with yours
(To possess, to possess)
Feel the history of your body
(To possess, to possess)
(To possess is to be in control)
If I could attach your blood vessels
So that we could become each other, I would
(To possess is to be in control)
If I could attach your blood vessels
And we could be together
To this space and time, I would
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
I want your life
What happens to it?
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin, I would
(To possess is to be in control)
