lyrics

they say write drunk and edit sober
but i like to light fires anytime
there’s dirt underneath my fingernails and
grape juice on my hands
don’t come ‘round here
you’ll only melt
like the witch you are
and my voice and face will tell you it’s over

am i inconvenient? are you scared of me?
am i not as calm as you want me to be?
you want my feelings stacked and organized and spartan
I am enough, you say as though i am too much
i’m someone else’s fucking problem now, anyway

am i ungrateful? am i not thankful?
i’m just as thankful as i would be
for a china plate served
with no food on it
for an arm sawn off instead of mended
you are no surgeon like you claim to be
my sadness isn’t gangrene, it’s human
and i have every fucking right to be angry

there’s a place of passage
and an imaginary door
Thirteen years of fucking hell, but I don't go back there anymore
What happened there is my story to tell
You conceded that right when you put me through all nine circles of hell
