I've been sitting alone for hours
Waiting for you to bring your ugliest parts to me
I've been naming our thorns for hours
Hoping you'll treat them as kindly as you treated me
Oh, I've been thinking like a beast for hours
Wondering if you like the challenge of cruel men, me
After I glamour you for hours
Will you have the strength, the strength to extinguish me?
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Close to me
Boy, I'm hungry but all my knives are dull
Will you sharpen your teeth to hunt and keep me full?
Oh, hunt and keep me full
When you're burnt down and you're praying for rain
Can I wish for flood? Is that OK?
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Every time you lie you'll find yourself deeper inside of me
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Why would you stay this long if you didn't want me?
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Don't act like I don't bring so much joy to you
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
You'll find yourself, close to me, closer to me
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Each time you deny my mess
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Close to me
