lyrics

Open up my body
I will let you in
Cause I was born a woman
And that’s my original sin

A spectre in my bedroom
The sepulchre's frontier
Pushes holes through muscle memory
That I can feel for years

Your agency forgotten
Them boys, they push and take
Bitch, why you still complaining?
You'll bend or you will break

They found another body
I suck air in through my teeth
My keys between my fingers
Pray the next one isn't me

I been thinking of quitting drinking
That ticking in my head
Cause the more I drown my demons
The more daft that I get

She raps upon my front door
Pretty face all black and blue
"No I can't leave him, no I won't
I love him, yes I do"

So I farewell her the next day
Clutch my fist up to my breast
Her little girl in the backseat
And onwards on they press

They said it from the origin
We are our mother's kin
Eve transgressed, so that's on you
The eternal odium.
