Lyrics
Love found me when I was young

A tent, a lake, a shooting star

I built Utopia in my head where

We could be the way we are

They beat me up, they kicked me out,

They fed me to their godly flames

'Pervert', 'monster', 'deviant'

Were just some of the nicer names

Conform, conform, or be cast out,

The dogma is intense

To build your own Utopia is

a criminal offence

What is plotted will unravel

What is built slip out of joint

Good intentions get forgotten

Makes you wonder, what's the point

Optimistic final verse.
