lyrics

Lover, your touch created this voice
Your skin is my skin
Your suffering spawned all compassion
You’re the gentle breeze of the fall

You blessed me- you raised me right
Right out of the scum that the flies crawl home to
When they don’t deserve the shit that they dwell in

But, some boys
Take
More than they deserve
Some boys, they say:
Gimmie everything

A little fawn with spots I keep
I water her with potpourri
When sticks and stones are softer than hydrogen
It’s because
Some boys are constructs of knives

Wasted and determined at 1pm
I’ve got to be brave to feel
Surgery on faces we used to respect
We’re going to make them ugly as hell

Will he ever know how it feels to have to choose what to let in?
To have your choices torn to shreds?

If you have a daughter who cries
If you die thirsty, hungry and rejected
If you have your body destroyed
If you feel pain in every touch
I hope you understand

Never
Lay a finger on our flower again
We will make you hurt again and again
We will
Bury you
Under her gentle roots
