lyrics

It's like a change of name
It's like I sold my soul
I took whatever trial they gave me
Made it all my own
Collected up the rubble
Shattered pleasure I had sold

It is trial and error darling
But I never learn from my mistakes
It is trial and error
Is this the price I pay you now?

I need you to build me a plane
Using only twigs and leaves
Then get me out of here
Fly me over the sea or throw me overboard halfway
I can't stand you anymore
But you come to min everyday
It was so frighteningly long ago
But I remember when I lost control

Feed me to the ocean
Feed me to the ocean

It is trial and error baby
But I never learn from my mistakes
It is trial and error is this the price I pay
for you

Well miracles never happen
And you were wondering am I still miserable
Well, you bet I am, you bet I am
