Melanie Martinez - THE CONTORTIONIST lyrics

[Melanie Martinez - THE CONTORTIONIST lyrics]

Twisted all my limbs for you
Two of them in knots
And two of them in loops
Ribbons tied around like a noose
Wonder if I'll ever get it loose
I don't wanna bruise for you
Holding back my words until my face is blue
(Huh) I don't really care about your crew
You can tell 'em what you wanted to

(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Pushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Lovin' me
(Blood is pumping
Blood is pumping) Pullin' me
(Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing) Fuckin' me
(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Crushin' me
(Body's touching
Body's touching) Touchin' me uh ah

I'm done, I'm done done doing backbends
I break and I snap, it's no fun, no fun
Pushed myself into a box while
You held out a gun
I'm done, uh ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha
I'm done, I'm done, uh ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha

Twistin' all my bones like screws
Stretchin' my self worth
Just like you usually do
Caught you like the cold or a flu (Achoo)
Praying that I'll someday be immune
Got me like a bad tattoo (Ooh ooh ooh)
Always under skin, even when it gets removed
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Never got a chance to undo (Ooh ooh ooh)
Positions that you forced my way into
(Ooh ooh ooh)

(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Pushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Lovin' me
(Blood is pumping
Blood is pumping) Pullin' me
(Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing) Fuckin' me
(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Crushin' me
(Body's touching
Body's touching) Touchin' me oh, ow

I'm done, I'm done done doing backbends
I break and I snap, it's no fun, no fun
Pushed myself into a box while
You held out a gun
I'm done, uh ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha
I'm done, I'm done, uh ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha

(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Pushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Lovin' me
(Blood is pumping
Blood is pumping) Pullin' me
(Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing) Fuckin' me
(Bones are crushing
Bones are crushing) Crushin' me
(Body's touching
Body's touching) Touchin' me
(Blood is pumping, blood is) oh, ow
