Music and Lyrics: B. Herr

lyrics

A finger claws
A virgin thigh
That’s what the people
All think outside

She’s never known
A lover’s touch
But after two months straight of sweat
She knows enough

Her father screamed
Her mother cried
Her pastor told her
She’d be a bride

She ran away
She lives in debt
She’s waiting calmly for
What hasn’t happened yet.

She’s never thought
Of suicide
But when you want to keep your baby
and you hate the way it feels inside…

Into the city
All own her own
It took her weeks to make that money
And now it’s blown

She begged the doctor
He cast his doubt
And in the end
He threw her out

The clergy came
and shut the door
They wanted nothing from
a sinner and a whore

To her hotel room
Locks herself in
She cries out “God forgive me
For this sin”


But know this, Lord
And hear me true
I’ve got nothing left to live for
And I’ve nothing left to do…”

She sees the closet
She cracks the door
She blocks out visions
of the life she had before

She finds her coat
She slips it off
She sees the hanger
And picks it up

She stifles tears
And holds her breath
And then she drags her broken body
To the bed

She cups her mouth
She opens wide
Unfurls the wire
And lets it slip….
