Ethel Cain - Nettles (Demo) lyrics
[Ethel Cain - Nettles Demo lyrics]
Yesterday, through today, til tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew
And slowed that part of you
The doctors gave you until
The end of the night
But not til daylight (not til daylight)
Time passes slower in the flicker of a
Hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight
Made a fool of myself down on
Tennessee Street
It wasn't pretty like the movies, it
Was ugly like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn't
Do to anyone you know that's for sure
Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own
(Wake up on my own)
Held close all of the time knowing I'm
Half of you
