Jagged Jill

from Jack but Jill by Pyrophoria

lyrics

Jagged Jill walks
Walks never talks
In the rain
with flip flops
She meets plain Jane
I’m well you’re the same
And well that’s a shame
Jagged Jill skips
Don’t give her any lips
They’re the get what they gets
She’s gets what she insists
Yellow pad shit lists
She tells people who she’s kissed
Because they all swung and missed
They fell for her and broke their wrist
She is a condition that didn’t preexist
She clenched her fist
And screamed resist
They said no we cannot exist
She hissed
Then be dismissed
I cannot twist
You from being a plagiarist

Jill walks home from the psych ward
She is bored
Another pill to hoard
David had a secret chord
And lord
She knows it was not aboard
Or headed toward
A song that she scored
4th 5th hits the billboard
Her music sits as though stored
She gets caught in a cord
Wins no award
Normal is a life she can’t afford
She don’t swallow her pride in accord
She swallows a fucking sword
Tattooed girl with the angry eyes
She sorts through all the lies
I am nothing but a surprise
I am the girl who knows how she dies

Freak but not weak enough not to speak
Life made her her unique
She lives on a streak
She lives as though oblique
The pain pill she hid in her cheek
Her pain is incomplete

Born without a scar
How do we get to where we are
I am a black hole to a star
I’m pried open like with a crowbar
