MY NINE LIVES, AND COUNTING

And the girls being diamonds

See how our tender hearts hold onto violence

I show him off, and he loves me in silence

Every excuse is a tiny violin

He’s holding on by the skin of my waist

I’m losing myself even losing my weight

My skin starts to crawl, and he’s making me wait

I wait the whole day, just one more day

Gone

Gone

He acts like a child, I act like a wife

As he tries to conquer each part of my life

I love him in peace while he loves me in strife

He likes to undress me right after i cry

I’ll be his arm candy, as small as a watch

I’ve known all the while he’s connecting the dots

Another small compromise, another small loss

I’ll kiss it goodbye, just one more piece of me

Gone

Gone

Watch me disappear

Watch me disappear

I wanna be nothing

In the middle of nowhere

A crack in the pavement

A pebble on the sand
