Tempest Lyrics – Ethel Cain

Can you hear them?
The trains
Pick your flowers
You’re too late

I’ll hurt myself if I want
I don’t care
Do you swing from your neck
With the hope someone cares?

Please, just go easy on me
I am young and naive

I don’t know what I need
“I can lead you to bed
But I can’t make you sleep”
I’ve heard it before
From someone who leaves

I still dream of violence
Angry at the waiting game
Chain link on your lungs
And sulfuric acid in my brain
Don’t ask me why I hate myself
As I’m circling the drain
‘Cause death, it takes too long
And I can’t wait

Waiting on my own
Waiting on my own
Waiting on my own
Waiting on my own
Always on my own
Always on my own
Always on my own
Always on my own
Someone, take me home
I wanna go home

Take me out the dark
I’m gonna regret this
(You came around here just to watch me writhe
Am I what you think about all late at night?
You can try and stop me, hold me
Do all the things that you do
But it’s no good)

Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
