The Simulacrum
[Verse 1] I’m not so unamused I’m not so damn pretencious I’m not so overlording I’m not so into plotting [Pre-Chorus 1] I just want to live my life I just want to live my life I don’t mean to stop your life I don’t care to stop your life I just want to live my life I just want to live my life I don’t mean to stop your life I don’t want to stop your life [Chorus] I am not an alien I am not unlike you Except I am open A concept which scares you I am not an alien But might be so to you I am only true to me Something that confuses you [Verse 2] I’m not so evil I am not your darling I’m not out to get you I see what you jerk to [Pre-Chorus 2] I just want to see my life I just want to breathe my life I don’t mean to stop your life I don’t care to stop your life You just aim to harm my life Is this all to your life I don’t mean to stop your life So why try to stop mine [Chorus] I am not an alien I am not unlike you Except I am open A concept which scares you I am not an alien But might be so to you I am only true to me Something that confuses you I see now you don’t see All your own hypocrisy This is what you do now Live regret and worship [Bridge] Does this bring true joy Or only hate and fear Does this bring you any joy Or only hate and fear I think you claim that I’m trying to convert you to my life Because you know deep down you want to have my life I think you claim that I’m trying to convert you to my life Because you know deep down you want to be my kind [Outro] Come on darling, come on down I’ll give you what you need Come on darling, come on down I’ll give you what you need Come on darling, come on down I’ll give you what you need Come on darling, come on down I’ll give you what you need

‘sterilize’ is industrial rock project the simulacrum’s second studio record, and her first self-produced and self recorded
work. the album contains guest vocals from birmingham alabama’s very own Domesticatrix it is a much more jagged & angry sounding album than it’s older sibling iron lung, while keeping the same emotional desperation as it’s counterpart.
