Heaven called me down below
whether its a sin I'll never know
but Angels crumble into coal, Amen
The world is sweet Pandora knows
heavy does she fall when it explodes
the box she stole will never close again
oh
the shiver in the snow
the innocents grows old
in my skin
and I know
I could never go
careless and alone
back to him
Apple cheeks and button nose
something in his eyes that makes him glow
I try to speak but he holds back my tongue
he turned away and I got cold
hold me to the fire or sell my soul
the smoke is blown forever in my lungs
Here I go
an anchor on my toe
is pulling me down low
as I weep
tender throat
I close my eyes and know
the waves will take me home
to the sea
There is rage and peace
within the deep
where the Nereids dance
taking my hands they say to me
that I'm a child at birth
the roaring sea
I'm a woman still
and yet, I am free
I hear your voice within my bones
to make myself a prize until I'm sold
I suffocate each time you show you’re there
The truth you hide begins to show
Poison my desire and poisoned hope
The stench of it is getting hard to bare
All I know
The bruises from the stone
The forefathers have thrown
All these years
Don’t you know
It’s hard for me to grow
When I can't reach my throat
Under tears
There is rage and peace
Within the deep
Where the Nereids dance
Taking my hands they say to me
That I'm a child at birth
Tge roaring sea
I'm a woman still
And yet, I am free
I'll forgive your youth
Your insecurity
But I won't forget what the world
Has made you do to me
don't deny the truth
of what men see
I'm a woman still
and yet, you think I'm weak
