He slept in my bed after I filled his body
With insects and panic and grandfather sewn seeds
C Em C Em
I was useless inside him; trade organs for oceans
C Em Am Em
Is there a vaccine for this?
C Em Am Em
To clean out all the unborn kids?
C Em (x4)
Ohhhhhhh
He broke me good where the landlord left scars
Emptied all the bedrooms to reclaim the stretch marks
C Em
We were to our throats in grass
C Em
We tore down the treehouses
C Em Am Em
And our brothers were kindling
C Em Am Em
for the love songs that we couldn't sing
C Em (x4)
Ohhhhhh

'Cause we drowned all our songs in the bathtub
You could hear them way up in the rafters
And the preachers sleeping in the attic
Stole them all for scriptures
C Em C Em
We sing nothing now, our mothers ask us how
C Em C Em
We pray with lights out for songs to fill our mouths
C Em (x4)
Ohhhhhh
