Grubby |
| Up the stairwell |
| Chip fat grey, and London green with damp |
| Out on the fifth floor, where the wind grips your jaw |
| And holds you in its clamp |
| There’s a red door, bordered by mottled glass |
| And inside, a lighted lamp |
| Pius live here |
| Pius is tired, but can’t sleep, she twitches, wired |
| She lies beside a sleeping body, a girl she barely knows |
| She met her in the pub, and it went the way it goes, the girl’s name is Rose |
| But Pius is lovesick for her Thorne |
| She left her in the Summer |
| And since then, Pius can’t get warm |
| She’s carried her stuck in her side since the day that she was born |
| She dreamed of her and knew her shape long before she saw her form |
| Well, it’s 4:18 |
| And Pius has been staring at the blinds for hours |
| She tells herself it’s all her fault |
| She doesn’t love, she just devours |
| Can’t sleep, so much to do |
| Tryna get closer to you, and you’re so far away |
| Tryna get hold of what’s true, and what’s true isn’t true when it’s day |
| Tell me, how can I sleep? Got so much to do |
| I’m trying to get closer to you, and you’re so far away |
| All that I say and I do are things that you do and you say |
| How come I’m becoming the one that I’m running from? |
| Hunted by, slurring my words in the pub, feeling nervous and overexcited |
| Arms 'round the waist of a girl who might make it alright for a night |
| Yeah, she takes me to places, then I lie beside of her, wake while she sleeps |
| And I feel much closer to you than I felt |
| When you were still here, spill beer till you reappear |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| Pain in my liver, ok, shame |
| So much shame, can’t bear my frame, can’t bear your name, ok |
| Can’t bear this game, let’s play, new rules, old rituals |
| Guilt trip, heartstrings snap, want to, can’t go back, too much |
| Not enough, I can’t get your claws out my gut |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| This is my mind, get out of it |
| You didn’t want it, how come you’re still hanging around in it? |
| This is my body, let go of it |
| You didn’t want it, how come you’re still fucking controlling it? |
| This is my night, get lost in it |
| This is my bridge, stop crossing it |
| This is my face, stop smiling |
| This is my space, you’ve been gone so long |
| How come I still find you hiding? |
| Fighting me, I’m fighting my darkest parts |
| I’m fighting nighatmres tied to my hands 'round my own throat |
| 'Cause you’re the snake charmer and I’m the old rope |
| No hope, just go, now, please just leave |
| Still in the air that I breathe, I’m stranded |
| Arms outstretched from my body, anybody |
| Here’s a body, but I wake up and I can’t stand them |
| I feel so grubby |
| Don’t want, can’t stop, just love me |
| Breath like a cigarette stubbed in the gutter |
| Come close, no, wait, don’t touch me, I’m ugly |
| Pushing for a phonecall, beep beep |
| Looking through names for the one that feels most dangerous |
| I can’t believe you’re in love again |
| I can’t open my heart to anybody but strangers |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
| I’m thinking of you |
| And the things you do to me |
