I could never be anyone's dream girl
because I mostly keep to myself
and I find comfort in that way of life
my world is an island
and people are the sea
true, it's lonely
but I know I am home

and I could never be anyone's dream girl
because the ferry runs everywhere but here
it brushes up against the shore but never stops
because no one desires to visit
I bury my head deep in the sand
and my heart deeper still
hey, sometimes clear blue skies warm my skin
they cut through the torrential rain and storms
and those skies and that sun belong to me
just like the downpour
it's all mine
it's all me

and I could never be anyone's dream girl
because I chose this life
I cut myself off from civilization
from humanity itself at a young age
I’ve removed it from my life like a useless limb
I’ve ruined those I might have loved
once upon a time
their lifeless bodies float out in the endless expanse of ocean
my kisses poisonous, my hugs constricting
but my departure and coldness held the blade
and I twisted it inside of each of them
like it was a game

and I could never be anyone's dream girl
because I **** my own happiness
and that of others
just by existing
and just by existing alone
I could never be anyone's dream girl
