lyrics

What if nothing…
collapses perfectly, like a paper fan
Fold my body
Crinkle at the edges and tear.

Collecting all the reasons to possess a body
No less than perfect.
Tell my maker, make me something better
With steel and diamonds.

Behind us is a crowd of lovers
Behind us is a valley to be slipping into
I take one step backwards
I take one step backwards…

To wash away this womanly pain.
I’m only bleeding out my iron.
It’s only once a month
But I still want to kill
The animal within.
And then all will become
perfectly collapsing machines.

Behind us is a crowd of judges
Behind us is a valley to be slipping into
I take one step backwards
I take one step backwards …
To become a better machine
More killer less creator.

And there are whole gaggles of girls being told
That they don’t have the time and they don’t have the choice
To be her.
