they wanna own me
they wanna have me
sometimes I wanna be had
and sometimes, I wanna be broken

when they watch me
they wanna feel, freed
by my joy
but they don't know all about me
and they wouldn't have me if they did

what is this woman
what is this woman I'm inside
bodies pressing bodies pressing into my body
a body in my own
did they want something from me?

between my limbs
under my ribs
there's a place
did you find it? 
god put it there for me
to cluster around it
around it....

they they are thirsty
and they need mothers
just like me
I can see them now, 
they're in slow motion and if they
wanna own it
it's because they
don't understand it 
or themselves
and they play me like I, I let them play me

because it feels a little
like connecting
because it feels good
to my body

I can't find a distinct line:
'love' or 'not love'
and sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I'm happy
but always I'm alive

to cluster around it
around it
to cluster around it...


Cluster (ft. HOSTXESS)

helpless, not 
helpless, not
you don't know what's stronger
you don't know what strong
try to find what strong and be it
a self
a river in the middle of a room
she holds herself up like a river
pushing through a drought

put a palm to the 
temple of me
what's about to happen won't be palatable

the temple i told
you of my body
it wasn't unclean, only used

grief held in the morning, a faded time
i woke and i remembered that you rule the world
thin the upper room, prepare it for the shrine
the sound of that girl stealing is the shape of mine
(the sound ... of mine)

des-des-des-des-desert
des-des-des-des-deserted
desert dust, or deserted? 
it isn't us
we aren't dead

oh how? 

desert dust
or deserted
there's water here
the water bled

helpless
helpless 
like a river pushing through a drought
