She reminds me

Laying low in 

             
a field some p

        
lace in Mosul
             
Wholly emulsif

            
ied by fear an

              
d aversion to 


truth

[Chorus]
             
When did every

How the fuck d

id it start?
            
Did you ever b

elieve in me?
       
Was it always 

so hard?
