lyrics

i used to think i was a whore
in an ocean screaming more, more, more
crying like my lip was split
wanting payment for some things i never did
spit the blood and i’d dry my eyes
so much for a nice goodbye

i am ready for the war
cannons kept in a nightstand drawer
i will try to fall asleep
with dreams of itchy fingers pulling at my sheets
and putting that gun right inside my hands
for all of us god has his plans

i can’t look at any faces i remember as a love once
i can’t stand that i know the truth, that it means that nothing’s ever good enough for you

you will always be the same
an empty beauty, cornucopia of shame
and when you think of what to say
don’t say a word, just bite your lip and walk away

and hold it in ‘til you feel you’ll burst
it won’t be painful, at least not at first
when you cannot take it anymore
pound your hardest outside my door
and let it out, i will understand
for all of us god has his plans
