Black Dresses - SLITHER lyrics
[Black Dresses - SLITHER lyrics]
"1 we slithered out of your
Reach all of us had
Someone like you to run from our wings were
Clipped and our limbs were damaged
But we crawled and
Picked our way as far out as we could"
"2 we lived by the water took
Care of something that made
It's home deep below the surface
The mother of the
Depths returned our kindness by giving
Us her flesh to sustain
Us she was sick and diseased
Like we all were, but she kept us alive"
"3 things settled and some of our
Feathers started to grow back, a
Different color than before our bones began
To heal at new angles, but almost as strong
As they used to be we held each
Other close at night and whispered that
Things were different now things were safe
We had to be reminded nightly
Or else we'd forget"
"4 you found us you came while
We were sleeping you talked with
Warm familiarity and I threw up at
Your feet you asked me
What was wrong sincere and I couldn't
Answer i wish it was
Easier to hate you i wish
You were a bad person
But instead I just think that
I am for wanting that"
"5 we drove you away
Haltingly i told you I needed more
Time as if I hadn't
Already decided what you were to
Me i wish you knew what you did
But I don't want to tell you it would be
Easier if you were something I had
Nightmares about instead of ugly
Complicated dreams i want to flatten
You into a villain but
I think that would only turn
Me into one please
Leave me alone i'm happy now
I'm happy here please don't
Look for me i promise I'm okay please go"
Listen to me i'm going to speak plainly
I'm not going to say your name i'm afraid
Because of what I know you won't mention
All those years of horrible tension
I don't think you're a monster, hardly
I just think that you fucked up, badly
I can never tell you what you did to me
So I have to settle for this, I hope truly
That you never hear these
Words that I'm speaking
This is just for me as I'm healing
It's not my fault that my soul is a war
That I don't want to say I
Love you on the phone anymore
I blame you but I don't want to hate you
But maybe that's because I'm afraid to
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
(We got away, but everything reminds us)
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
(We got away, but everything reminds us)
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
(We got away, but everything reminds us)
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
(We got away, but everything reminds us)
There is a memory of when I was
Young and I admired you so much
(We got away, but everything reminds us)
I admired you so much
"6 what comes next? Is there
Anything after? Where will
We go to now? Who will we become?"
I wonder i've never wondered before
Everything always changes but it's
Always the same everything always changes
It flickers like flames
Everything always changes
Dice roll to a different face
Everything always changes, new skin, new face
Everything always changes but it's different
Sides of one thing
Everything always changes, in a circle
In a ring
Reach all of us had
Someone like you to run from our wings were
Clipped and our limbs were damaged
But we crawled and
Picked our way as far out as we could"
"2 we lived by the water took
