lyrics

-- Lyrics --

I think I killed my plant
From overwatering it
Things don’t grow the same
In the winter time

I slipped on the stairs
Winding myself of air
I can’t do anything
But lie here for a moment

I am a snow angel
Makes the bitterness
Feel romantic
This year there isn’t someone
To keep me warm
I’m back with cuddling Bunny Rose

I came home early
From the show tonight
I was feeling low
Cause I went out alone again

The band stayed at my house
Age of seventeen
I remember when
This was done for me

I am a snow angel
Makes the bitterness
Feel romantic
This year there isn’t someone
To keep me warm
I’m back with cuddling Bunny Rose

Snow angel, snow angel, snow angel

Focusing on a flower
The clouds overhead
The lips of my lover
Mother nature and her offerings
Reminders that life is beautiful still
Amongst all the madness, the chaos
The need to march in the streets
Fake news and indoctrination
Closed borders and deportation
I’ve been deeply sad
A sadness deeper than after rejection
Am I only just realizing the injustice that exists
Cloaked in white privilege since the day I was born
Blinders on

Blinders on
It’s the feeling where I wonder if everything is gonna be ok
And when I say everything
I am not talking about my little everything
My little life
I mean the planet
I mean the oceans
People fighting for their right to a safe life
The polar bears floating away on a brick of ice
What have we done to them?
The only way I can ease the all consuming, rising feeling of we’ve reached no return
Is to grab that pillow and give a good long scream
Sit with the release
Maybe go for a run
Come home, turn on the tv
Go numb for a bit
Forget the suffering that I cause that I cause that
i i i i i
I recycle
I compost
I buy second hand
God I’m disgusting
Like that’s enough of a plan
Staring at my iphone
Green smoothie recipe
‘How to start your day right’
Slipped right through my hands
Clean up the glass on the ground
Push the little sharp bits around
Whole world’s going to shit
This white girl contributes to it
I want to stop trying to hide it
I want to stop trying to hide it
I want to stop trying to hide it
I wanna stop trying
Will the lion be around when my child is born
Should I even have a child at all?
This world is full up
I want to be a mother
But I shouldn’t bring in another
I want to be a Mother
But I shouldn’t bring in another
What is it to mother?
We all need a Mother
Killing Mother Earth
Stab her and watch her
Stab her and watch her
Bleed
Stab her and watch her
Stab her and watch her
Bleed
Gather around
Gather around to watch her
Watch her
Bleed
Stab her and watch her
Stab her and watch her
And watch her
Bleed
For you and me
For our cute little outfits
Straight off the runway
Sparkles
High socks
Vintage Nirvana tee
Brown paper bag
Heard they were going green
20 bucks at H&M, baby
Can I get off of this ride
I’m feeling dizzy
It’s moving way too fast
And I wanna come down
