Playing Rough

from Jack but Jill by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

I was raised by a tv
No one wanted me
What’s a story book
When you look
Up and see
What they took
I am free
Not that I am old
But that I am me
And I learned
It’s not what you’ve earned
It’s what you take
Because breakers gonna break
And I’m going to make
Tsunamis not waves
I’m the girl who braves
A villain misunderstood saves
Herself from falling down
Because she doesn’t follow him around
I took the crown
I’m falling someone is calling
Someone is bawling
You fucking stay there
That’s where
I grew up
And if you knew enough
You’d play rough
And not cry
Because through my evil eye
I see a weak little boy who doesn’t try
And that’s why
This is mine
I don’t draw a line
The inhumane survive
And thrive
And we all feel alive

Fetch a pale of water
Take your lamb to slaughter
Pill popper
Jill the plotter
Will prosper
Will conquer
My final offer
Get off her

Tsunamis not waves
Calm seas in flames
Get off board
This ship is in accord
Not manned it’s bitched and lord
I can’t afford
To be bored
By land explored
Swallow your pride I swallow a sword
David play a chord
I don’t know
His song too slow
I don’t make those anymore though
I’m not sad I’m mad you know
I watch the wind blow
The tide is too low

Fetch a pale of water
Take your lamb to slaughter
Pill popper
Jill the plotter
Will prosper
Will conquer
My final offer
Get off her

I am ocean wide
But I am not good inside
I’m not sorry I lied
The blonde cried
I told you that astride
Don’t stay aside
I tried
I was dry-eyed
There was a landslide
My life a land mine
There was a thin line
I never used to define
I don’t shine nein
I redefine
Show me where to sign
Away my soul I won’t decline
And a pale of water just fine
Wouldn’t douse
The heart of mine

Fetch a pale of water
Take your lamb to slaughter
Pill popper
Jill the plotter
Will prosper
Will conquer
My final offer
Get off her
