Hard Times by Ethel Cain, from the album Preacher's Daughter, time stretched to 23 minutes.

hard times by ethel cain - time stretched - 23 min

when nobody could see him, I did
riding round in his suv, our only trip
drive me home and pack your lip
my heart still races thinking about that kiss

you're so long ago, I shouldn't start
sixteen years old with a broken heart
switching over lines in the lanes
it's a taste of what one day could break
i hope you will always stay the same

long hair, skinny jeans
made me feel like i was the idle teen
everything i wanted, it was you

ripped shirt, leather jacket
you took it off so i could have it
put your hands on my throat to sweet Nicole

lost in our translation
saying goodbye at the train station
came boots clicking on the floor
taking pictures of you like they did in 1944

See me in the stream, water to my knees
That's where i'm breathing, that's where i'm bleeding
Remember the eyes that want me to die
Moon is sharp like the edge of a knife

My legs in the water, I will not falter
The shape of a woman, the shape of the water
The shape of a woman, the shape of the water

See me on the screen, spread apart my knees
I'm always feeling, i'm always healing
Devil comes at night, rapes me in my dreams
He's always screaming, i'm always kneeling
Nobody will drown in the tears i've cried
I look at my knife think I want it to die

My legs in the water, I will not falter
The shape of a woman, the shape of the water
The shape of a woman, the shape of the water
The shape of the image, forgive me father
Was made in her image, the moon is my mother
The shape of the image, the moon is my mother

lyrics:
i was wandering through the trees and beaten path
found myself in the midst of the aftermath 
of a time-old tale that most would never dare to read
i saw the branches shed their leaves
and watched them fall upon the sleeping soldiers
if only not to wake them

there upon the hills and endless sky
i saw the white flag waiting for me
set in the stone to remind me that i couldn’t wave it enough
bathed in the blood stained on the ground
there i’ll drink my fill of wasted lives 
thrown from the tree 
but you only know what you can see, grieve
what you can leave

i went barefoot to the water as if i had just prevailed
waded downstream to my father as i listened to the wails
and they were angry 
and it was all my fault again
the walls were caving in
i wasn’t saving it, no
now i was placed in it
and i was facing it alone

is it planted in the soil?
is the land beneath my feet made to be ground?
made to be broken, made to be lost
made to be opened when it’s found

there upon the hills and endless sky
i saw the white flag waiting for me
set in the stone to remind me that i couldn’t wave it enough
bathed in the blood stained on the ground
there i’ll drink my fill of wasted lives 
thrown from the tree 
but you only know what you can see, grieve
what you can leave
