Daughter of God

Doubt's an elastic that snaps where you grasp it With idle hands clasped on your wrist just as sharp as A kiss on the scar where you carved out her name Or a line that is straight and confined to your fate You're resigned to be damned by your hand in her hand She will hold you as soft as feather on water You float on her fingers, she pulls you apart It's not hard, it wont hurt, it's not right for a daughter of god Not for one of his flock Not for good little girls But good god you're not Good girl Hate is a bile that starts in your guts and erupts From your throat like a geyser, you try to provoke And emote and spit angry black stains on their lies As they hock more to block out their shame And their cries, how they try, but it wont be enough Not as long as you live, you'll all drown in the stuff It wont help to be patient, the water will rise after all You're all in the same place aren't you, daughter of god? Just one of his flock Like the good little girls But good god you're not Good girl Good girl... Light, you can see now the dark is receding Parts leaving, not bleeding, just holes for the healing to start There's your heart and it sees with it's wings out It reads what you think in the bones of the body You shrink and you smile and you try to make small But the devil sees all and she thinks you're a beauty You're bursting and beating and burning up Hotter each second, the reckoning comes for you daughter of god Comes for one of his flock For the good little girls But good god you're not Good girl Love is a place where she touches your face But also your thighs (and it's alright) Love is a place where the tide always rises The ink never dries (and it's alright) Love is a place where you see with your heart and Fly with your eyes (and it's alright) Love is a place where your innocence goes when it dies You'll never know what you could find (let love turn on the light) You'll never know what you could find (let love touch you tonight) You'll never know what you could find (let love drown your soul) You'll never know what you could find (let love make you whole, daughter of god)
