Lyrics
3) Precious bugs
lowers her head with the shame of the boring
she'd decided not to talk about herself anymore
awkward girls whore the life story
educated minds have heard it all before
a self-reference so obvious
words 'soul' and 'spirit' bared
whispered stories of a grandmother
try and grasp it, turns to air
so she falls on her back, so her
eyes can touch the ceiling
where the skeleton's bones, stuck to the wood
one by one come downward wheeling
the stories that can haunt the secret spaces
for a decade and a half, placed in the mind
demons that live behind heaters and mirrors
there's a greater monster that I can find
this is an enemy that I share
with three quarters of the human race
she collects each piece of my inferiority
keeps them pinned like precious bugs inside a case
(Words written by Vanessa Rijo)
