A physical manifestation of a woman's trauma stalks her relentlessly.
lyrics
VERSE 1
I think i’d be pretty soaked in blood
In a silk white night dress and nothing more
You could take pictures of me there
And appreciate my form
From behind a fisheye lens
If you need a screen project onto me
I can be anything and nothing I am your wants
And desires and lust personified
Or ill at least let you believe it so
CHORUS (CHORAL)
Wrap your fingers around my pale waist
Make me scream out it does not matter how
I’ll be your martyr wrapped in your sweat and linen
I can be you modern day Mary Magdalene
You’re bitter.
VERSE 2
You’re never not in the corner of my eye
I can just make out yours blurred and clouded
From the eyeholes you widened to stare at me better
On my 2am walk from work
If I were curled up in a box of lead and
Thrown overboard you would still just watch
My beauty as the salt water filled my lungs
My eyes bulged and bloody
Don’t you dare.
CHORUS (FRANTIC)
Dig me out and dress me up,
Embalm me, dance with me, replace my eyes with glass
Fuck you don’t close the window to my soul
Lock me out, and force me to watch as
Over and over you chew me up like a dog with a bone
It makes me wretch for a stomach which is missing
And my formaldehyde heart aches as it falls to pieces
But i still want to see you again
CHORUS (CHORAL)
Wrap your fingers around my pale waist
Make me scream out it does not matter how
I’ll be your martyr wrapped in your sweat and linen
I can be you modern day Mary Magdalene
You’re bitter.
omg your sound is so unique, like how is the bass in ode like that
speaking of ode, it is my all time favorite track in this album (lullaby for an angel's egg pt.2 is a close second) jwalton8
Such a good EP! each song just gets stuck in your head like a parasite, I love it so much
Also didn’t expect to relate to Pretty Boi as much as I do… Wil Stevens (Fan Acc)
