i wonder how i'll find you
when you've left us behind
you wanted to go
i wonder how you'll leave me
when you're done believing
you're worthy of love
and will there be a chance
that i can bring you back?
or will you be cold?
pick up the phone
(don't leave me alone)
i know just what you'll say
we're better off this way
better off on our own
you can't go on like this
no end to darkness
the lows are too low
but i love you
and i'll hold out hope
oh, will you grow old?
pick up the phone
(don't leave me alone)
i know the nights are so long
and everything you do seems wrong
you remember every battle as lost
this gulf between us too far to cross
but no matter where we go
you are my heart
you are my home
i don't know me without us
just promise me you won't give up
you promised me you wouldn’t give up
you promised me
you promised me

oh
us girls we love a fascist
they light us up like matches
and watch us burn out
oh
at night i dream of hallways
i think about it always
and plan my way out
oh
from under your boot
away from the brute
brute heart
of a brute like you
you should’ve known it was
so dangerous
falling in love with a girl like me
because here’s the truth
i’m no longer scared of you
if i’ve killed one man
i’ve killed two
oh
us girls we love our captors
they send us up in raptures
and watch us fade out
oh
at night i dream of back roads
and places that you don’t know
on my way out
oh
from under your roof
this act is the proof,
a stake in the heart of a man like you
you looked at me
as if i were
a massacre
I AM
I AM
I AM

hunger

there was a time
when i thought i'd die for it
an outline of ribs
a taper to the hips
divide up my parts
but i'll never be less than this
the wanting
the waging
of this war within
make me/make me fragile
make me/make me brittle
make me/make me skeletal
break me until i'm beautiful
will there be a time
when i can call a truce?
will i ever see more
than what i have to lose?
take of my body
my flesh
strip me down to my bones
this hunger
this yearning
it is all that i know
make me/make me fragile
make me/make me brittle
make me/make me skeletal
break me until i'm beautiful
will i ever be beautiful?
(there is a comfort in hunger)

thoughts and prayers

what if this was the last time
i held you in my arms?
what if these were our last words?
would you know how loved you are?
what would you think about?
and would you think of me?
don't run
don't scream
just pretend you're dead
so you come back to me
can you tell me, is it worth it?
do you think they deserve this?
is this all we are now?
a nation of escape routes?
and what would they pray about?
and would they pray for me?
don't run
don't scream
just pretend you're dead
so you come home to me
