lyrics

Again, again, again
Done despite the consequence
Pin, pinned
I feel the pins and needles in
My skin, skinned
Sinking through unwashed linen
Sinking, swiftly fading out

I'm never gonna live this down
You may as well let me drown
I don't expect the sympathy
You may as well, let me sink

I'm not a God, turns out I’m flesh and blood
Hang me up on the mattress
Beat til I drop, I admit it's my fault
Hang me up and, let me have it
Uh, bad habit, uh

Time, time, time and time again do I return
Turn, turn
Tongue is twisted and tummy churns
Words, words, well I'm lost for words
That swiftly fade to none

I'm never gonna live this down
You may as well let me drown
And I don't expect your sympathy
I may as well disappear

I'm not a God, turns out I’m flesh and blood
Hang me up on the mattress
Beat til I drop, I admit it's my fault
Hang me up and, let me have it
Conjured a storm, circled out of control
Hang me up on the mattress
Beat til I drop, I admit it's my fault
Couldn't help my bad habit
Uh, bad habit, uh

I'm stepping down from the saddle now
Cause I'm not higher than animal
I'm defective and diagonal
Lay on me what you will

I'm not a God, turns out I’m flesh and blood
Hang me up on the mattress
Beat all you want, I admit it's my fault
Hang me up and, let me have it
Conjured a storm, circled out of control
Hang me up on the mattress
Beat til I drop..

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
