"Narcissus" lyrics

"Narcissus"

How you fell in love with your reflection in the water, I will never know
How you could mistreat such a wife and a daughter, I will never know
You leaned so close the water touched your nose
A grieving, your eyes, they could see it from below

The ones who came before
Who waded from the shore
And plunged into the cold and murky world
And see no more

Oh, you think I'm a narcissist
Then I don't want a part in this
And I don't care if I made these bodies
Who think that they can take this from me
Narcissus
I don't want a part in this
And I don't care

So much of what you say is old
You made me, yes, that's true
But I'll be damned if I belong to you

Too fair, the daffodil
I hear the laughing still
Of what could have been
Had you not turned to sin

Too fair, the daffodil
I hear the laughing still
Of what could have been
Had you not dived right in

Oh, you are a narcissist
You think I want a part in this?
And I don't care that you made my body
You think you own it wrongly
Narcissus
I won't take pity
I'll pluck the flowers from the shore
And you can stay there evermore
Evermore

Oh, you are a narcissist
I never wanted part in this (I hear the laughing still)
And I don't care that you made my body
You think you own it wrongly
Narcissus
I won't take pity
I'll pluck the flowers from the shore
And you can stay there
Oh you can stay there
Evermore
