about

Inspired by The Tale of Raw Head & Bloody Bones, by Jack Wolf.

lyrics

No light since I was twelve, it’s a dark world
I’m hidden away, told I’m a bad girl
He comes to me, like a dream in the night
He cuts into me and shows blood to be bright
Is God one of us?
Does my heart control my mind?
Does my soul cry out for pain?
Is there mercy in my brain?
Cut Save Care Crave
She’s my willow tree
Didn’t think there could be one
To understand, the place that I come from
It’s a dark world, I breathe her pain
Please scream for me
Is there madness in my brain?
Is God one of us?
Does my heart control my mind?
Does my soul cry out for pain?
Is there mercy in my brain?
Cut Save Care Crave
He’s more monstrous than I thought
But our bond eats up my shame
Bloody Bones, he’s not to blame
