Candyland Lyrics - Singles - Kristin Hersh

I lost a boy and now I look for him 

Through every window 

And behind every door 

My son went down 

This isn't trauma 

It's not even drama anymore 

I was born with a sad song in my mouth 

He gave me a reason to sing it 

It's like this boy 

Took all my clear cold nights 

Left me hot and dry 

And when he falls, I can't hear it 

This isn't vodka, it's not even chocolate 

I don't know how long I can stay straight 

And still see straight 

He gave me a reason to say it 

Don't wait for pain to find out you exist 

Don't look for shame 

You're better off without it 

Life is unkind 

This isn't Candyland 

I know you don't understand 

So nice not to be ashamed 

So nice not to be creeped out 

Ice is unkind 

'Til it freezes your enemies 

Life is unkind 

'Till it burns up your memories 

Life is unkind 

He gave me a reason to live it
