lyrics

I lick my rosy lips
Taste their saltiness
From tears I’ve spent
Oh I draw myself a bath
Oh I’m naked now
But more somehow

I am scared to see
The blue and pink
Printed over me
From hands that did not love
That could not love
Oh do not love me.

Oh I am scared to see
My water dirty no matter how I clean
They teach young girls that at 16
Now only God will love
Oh will He still love me?

I lay motionless
The water melts my skin
I am bones and mist
Tender love I have known
But those hands were stones
They said they’ll only touch
What they love most

I am scared to see
The blue and pink
Printed over me
From hands that did not love
That could not love
Oh do not love me.

Oh I am scared to see
My water dirty no matter how I clean
They teach young girls that at 16
Now only God will love
Oh will He still love me?

I am ready
For all the blessing I will receive
Oh put me in the water where we all drink
Oh take a sip
I swear you’ll feel relieved.
For I am good
My soul is free.
No you could never blemish me.
For I am loved
Just as me
And I still can’t hate you
Though I wish I’d see
In those writing our laws
That same purity
Oh why do you love our violators
More than me?

I am scared to see
The blue and pink
Printed over me
From hands that did not love
That could not love
That do not love me.

Oh I am scared to see
My water dirty no matter how I clean
They teach young girls that at 16
Now only God will love
Oh will He still love me?

I am scared to see
More strange hands
Letting themselves inside of me
In the name of God
But you don’t love
Oh you didn’t love me
I am scared to see
Them using my religion to try to punish me
Since I was 16
You said no one would love
But I know He still loves me!

“ I paint figures that make beautiful my own vulnerabilities. I sing about what makes me blush. This is me connecting in the way I know how.. For these parts we tend to hide, they too have a desire to be known.”
