Backbone Bend

(album: My Spirit Sister - 2017)

Lady lover with your heart burned out
Staring from your royal chair
It's hard to hear you when you only shout
God, you play the victim, God, you play the victim well
I heard you're lonely when it's late at night
I'm a liar if I say I care
You're body motion says 1000 words
But none that really fits you well

Say it if you mean it, but mean it if you say that
You're gonna get it all out now
Screaming like you're dying, it's funny how it all works out

I wanna see your backbone bend till ya give
Frame gone thin
I bet you feel a bit like him
Sharing skin
You ain't at all, ain't even worth the kiss

Pitter patter on an autumn day
Choking on the words you said
If I could teach a shadow to follow
And keep you outside, keep you outside my head
You think I'm good, I think you're better
At saying what you never feel
I think I'll spare you any trouble
Of thinking that I'll never heal

Say it if you mean it, but mean it if you say that
You're gonna get it all out now
You're screaming like you're dying, it's funny how it all works out

I wanna see your backbone bend till ya give
Frame gone thin
I bet you feel a bit like him
Sharing skin
You ain't at all, you ain't at all, no
You ain't at all, ain't even worth the kiss

You say it like you mean it, but mean it if you say that
You're gonna get it all out now
Screaming like you're dying, it's funny how it all works out

Say it like you mean it, but mean it when you say that
You're gonna get it all out now
Screaming like you're dying, it's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out

It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out
It's funny how it all works out...
