Persephone

Blood on my shirt, two ripped buttons
 Might've killed me that time, oh, if I'd let him
 He's slow when he's drunk, and he lost his grip on me
 Now I'm runnin' down la rue St. Paul
 Tryna get out from the weight of it all
 Can't flag a cop 'cause I know he won't stop
 I'll go see Persephone
 
 Tap, tap, tappin' on your window screen
 Gotta let me in Persephone
 Got nowhere to go, but I had to get away from him
 My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower
 Come runnin' to you in the violet hour
 Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
 Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower
 Salty sweet you give me power
 I feel you shake under my lips
 Your fingers tender find my secrets
 Don't make a sound, don't cry out love
 Your parents are sleepin' just above
 I kiss you once, I kiss you twice
 Fall asleep lookin' in each other's eyes
 Tap, tap, tappin' on your window screen
 Gotta let me in Persephone
 Got nowhere to go but I had to get away from him
 My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower
 Come runnin' to you in the violet hour
 Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
 ♪
 Light on your shoulder, light on your cheek
 Light tellin' me it's time to leave
 The birds are callin' to the mornin'
 Your parents' feet above us stirrin'
 Kiss your belly before I go
 Climb back outta your basement window
 Back to the cold's bite, back to the hard life
 Back to the harsh bright street
 Tap, tap, tappin' on your window screen
 Gotta let me in Persephone
 Got nowhere to go, but I had to get away from him
 My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower
 Come runnin' to you in the violet hour
 Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
 My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower
 Come runnin' to you in the violet hour
 Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
