I always felt too skinny, and so I chewed my cheeks,
With no empathy, you opened to speak,
Grabbed my collar and broke my teeth,
But your hands didn't move an inch, I was watching,
Violent and quiet through a violet brain,
Nails under hammer hit all ringing out in a similar way,
And I won't be spoken to like that again,
I won't be spoken to like that again.
I wasn't going to beg, despite how my chambers felt,
I just zipped up the body bag,
So now I've got a brand new dress,
One for your birthday, now turning my stomach,
I swallowed my words and I choked on them.
And when you step back, I hope the water's frozen over,
I hope you hear the ice crack,
I only heard my knuckles separate,
As you pulled at your chain,
My body as a car alarm, screaming your name,
Pinned in position,
The knife rolled slow in a sentence,
A corridor closed with a key,
As you turned yourself away from me,
I was uncaged and caught in a fur trap,
On the same day,
I wasn't going to beg, despite how my chambers felt,
I just zipped up the body bag,
So now I've got a brand new dress,
And if I left in a casket, I'd want you to have it,
I'd want you to have it,
So now I'm a wave,
Was I snatching at your ankles?
Was I screaming your name?
I'm sorry that I made you feel that way,
I'm sorry for always apologising.
So who needs guns?
Who needs anyone?
They all leave like lightning,
Quick to close the door behind them,
What kindness.
I wasn't going to beg,
I just zipped up the body bag,
I wasn't going to beg,
I just zipped up the body bag.
