I won't give it a name
Just cable tied my wrist to the railing
You got so quiet
You thought I wouldn't notice
You started turning so lilac
Barely alive in my hands and yellow around the edges
You used to speak so honestly
So uninterrupted
And now all I see is a lack of sincerity
Inarticulate
As and when it serves you best
Locks on the cabinets
I put them there for myself
But for everyone's benefit
I was ashamed
I shook like thunder
You poured like rain
I should've known my place
I wish that I'd never said anything
And there was no mercy from the water
As it smothered its favourite daughter
I won't give it a name
It won't forgive me for my mistakes
They always told you that your body was built to be fixed
Their hooks tried to drag you to their parapet
But this is my church, this my house
Biting your hand over my mouth
And this is my church, this my house
Biting your hand over my mouth
You used to speak to consciously
Of all that you offered
Now you only speak in apologies
Inarticulate
As and when it serves you best
Locks on the cabinets
I put them there for myself
But for everyone's benefit
Head pressed against the sink
Getting rid of everything wrong with me
Performing my own cautery
What if they give you everything
And wash it down with mercury
I was ashamed
I shook like thunder
You poured like rain
I should've known my place
I wish that I'd never said anything
And there was no mercy from the water
As it smothered its favourite daughter
And there was no mercy from the water
As it smothered its favourite daughter
And there was no mercy from the water
As it smothered its favourite daughter
I won't give it a name
It won't forgive me for my mistakes
