Death Rattle
Ethel Cain
Love isn’t painful and love isn’t free
And love’s never come easy to me
‘Cause you dig deeper, and I pull farther
You’ve never been afraid of what people
Say or see
You always tell me to bury you by your mother
So for the first time
You can feel close to her
You carve your prayers between
My legs in hopes that you’ll feel better but
You only feel worse
Our days are numbered
And you can only drive so fast
And we can hide under the floorboards
But your body was never built to last
I cry evеry time I ask you
Do you even wanna stay hеre with me
Am I just a casualty to you
Do you even know what that means
Our days are numbered
And you can only drive so fast
And we can run until we’re out of sight
But your body was never built to last
