Mantra Songtext
von Lauren Mayberry

I want to trace your geography
Want to chew up every chapter, every verse
Your kind of pride is my pornography
I′ll obsess over you like you are the first

I will say the mantra 'til it is a curse
It might make me better if it makes you worse
You can keep your body
I just want your place in the world
Will it happen if I say it
Over and over and over and over?

I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it


Wish I could drink your biology
Instead of pressing my lips up against the glass
I′ll take back my past apologies
Hoping these words can instead act as my last

I will say the mantra 'til it is a curse
It might make me better if it makes you worse
You can keep your body
I just want your place in the world
Will it happen if I say it
Over and over and over and over?

I want, I want, I want it

I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it
I want, I want, I want it

With a voice that never could quite command respect
You won't hear me coming through all the noise
With my fingers closing in around your neck
I will seek you only to destroy
With a voice that never could quite command respect
You won′t hear me coming through all the noise
With my fingers closing in around your neck
I will seek you only to destroy
