Mythological Beauty

歌詞

You have a mythological beauty You have the eye of someone I have seen Outside of ordinary situations Even outside of dreams You lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen There is a child inside you who’s trying to raise a child in me If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You cut the flesh of your left thumb Using your boyfriend’s knife Seventeen, you took his cum And you gave birth to your first life You gave Andrew a family who you thought would love and take better care I have an older brother I don’t know He could be anywhere If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way Rented a house in Nisswa, Minnesota Shrapnel and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard I built a ladder out of metal pieces Father was working hard Standing beneath the oak tree by the front door You were inside baking bread Sister came out and put her arms around me Blood gushing from my head You held me in the backseat with a dishrag, soaking up blood with your eyes I was just five and you were twenty-seven Praying, “Don’t let my baby die.” If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way So much more to live your life To walk the floor To say goodnight Do you leave your light on? Do you leave your light on? You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way
