about

Single from the upcoming album, Dirt (This Could Go Boom 2021)

lyrics

who were you hiding from when you lied to me?
I wonder if you wrote about it later
you were always so good at telling stories

deep in your mind you know it was wrong to reach
deep in my body breaking all the windows
I was hoping so hard that there was more here

you’re naked in my arms
but I’m still waiting, waiting to see you
to see you

I am not a martyr
I will not lie down, lie down
and die for you, die for you
You butcher! You carver!
you hole boring through
through, through


who were you hiding from when you lied to me?
I wonder if you wrote about it later.
you were always so good at telling stories


under your hands you know there was land in me
did you think those hands could steal it from me?
my spirit will burn down every colony

you’re naked in my arms
but I’m still waiting, waiting to see you
to see you

I am not a martyr
I will not lie down, lie down
and die for you, die for you
You butcher! You carver!
you hole boring through
through, through


you’re naked in my arms X 6
you're naked! X 4

you’re naked in my arms
but I’m still waiting, waiting
to see you, to see you


I am not a martyr
I will not lie down, lie down
and die for you, die for you
You butcher! You carver!
you hole boring through
through, through
