about

This song is from the perspective of a girl who rises from the grave to haunt the people who redefined and romanticised her narrative as a tragedy (including us).

lyrics

So, get yourself immersed in the culture,
because you know that you’ve got no future, dear
You can sing all the right words,
But you’re always out of time and that’s why it hurts

So forget what you know, and all that you knew
And all the things that they’ve really wanted you to do
So get outside and stand in line
And live out your life dissatisfied

And
Oh My Dear
Your bones crack and your lips shake with fear and
Oh My God
They said why haven’t you got yourself a job and they say
Oh Jesus Christ
They’re tearing her apart slice by slice, it goes
Fucking hell
He burnt your boots and your ripped jeans as well

So you
Got yourself some new shoes and a new man
so now we can finally prove that you’re human and
you cry at all the right scenes
tick all the boxes in their magazines and they say
Isn’t this getting a bit too graphic
for your biography and for your biopic
blood will flow but it’s ok the camera pans out and fades away

Back
over the city to where we met you,
Down in the river when we’d never forget you died
Your lungs fill up with oil but at least the media caught the bad side of you

My Dear
Your bones crack and your lips shake with fear and
Oh my god
They said why hadn’t she bought herself a gun and they say
Oh what a crying shame
your long hair caught alight on the gas flame
Oh fucking hell
he burnt your boots and your ripped jeans as well

And she says
"Repeat after me
I was not a piece of your broken machine
I do not need a doctor or mechanic
I was not a symptom of your moral panic
And these bones sing
hallowed
like those girls who came before me"
And they will scream like dead men,
witches burn off their flesh
A sentence you can’t ignore when you’re lying in your grave
A vague sense of dread so early in the day but I guess they always said to you
You only win if you don’t play again
