Moriarty/Coldplay - I will try to skin you

And here we have a Coldplay Cover/ crack!song, because Moriarty’s cool like that. For some reason I’m not really satisfied with the outcome…

Thanks a lot to Emeline, who came up with this in the first place, it’s a rather perfect idea! When I suddenly found an ask saying ‘you need to do a coldplay/moriarty cover where it’s ‘I will try to skin you’ instead of ‘fix you’” there was absolutely no possible way I could’ve said no, so I changed the rest of the lyrics as well (though most of it turned out to be pretty fitting already ;) and then recorded the thing today.

Also, the cover really reads ‘moriarty’, check out this site. And I should probably mention that I used this instrumental.

Lyrics:

When you try your best but I don’t succeed
When you got what I want but don’t give it to me
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
I most likely drugged you

And the tears come streaming down your face
As you lose something you can’t replace
Because your extremities all go to waste
What could be worse?

I will burn your home
And ignite your bones
And I shall try to skin you

And on a stove or down below
When you’re too dumb your pain will show
But if we never try you’ll never know
Just how much it hurts

I will burn your home
And ignite your bones
And I will surely skin you

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive…

Tears stream down your face
As you lose something you can’t replace
Like arms for example. Or legs. Or various other organs found in the lower waist area.

Tears stream down your face
As you lose something you can’t replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you you will learn from your mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

I will burn your home
And ignite your bones
And I will make you into shoes

When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
I most likely drugged you
GUY. I’M LITERALLY CRYING.
