Verse 1]
Baby we're all out of places to go
Now that home's all gone
We burned that old son of a bitch down
We smashed out the windows and we pissed in the lawn 'cause
Happy's always been the dream
But we need to start waking up
I could follow you out there, but just hold on

[Chorus 1]
(Wait, just stay)
Your face is all fucked up from taking the world by the teeth
And there's blood on your hands, you don't know whose it is
Oh baby, come back in

[Spoken]
I've always wondered why bad things happen to good people
But then you told me you know I'm a good person and you've always been a bad thing
So now I wonder if those good people are really all that good
And if these bad things are really all that bad
I mean, all I really know nowadays is I've got you and you've got me and everything else
I don't know
I don't know anymore
I don't know

[Chorus 2]
That white horse is long gone
But we're moving on
We just keep moving on

independence day - ethel cain

lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Sunday morning and I’m wasted
Had too much to drink again
Preacher’s saying God will save me
If God is real, He’s a fucking bitch

[Verse 2]
Tell my baby that I love her
But, right now, mama’s gotta go
I didn’t ask to be this crazy
But since we’re here, I’ll give them a show

[Verse 3]
Always run from the best of them
But I’ll fall for a piece of shit
Half-cocked ’cause he’s not a big boy
And I don’t wanna know that half of him

[Verse 4]
If you try to hurt me, I won’t stop you
But there’s something you should know
It’s that my daddy’s fucking crazy
And always ready to blow

[Verse 5]
The first boy I ever loved
Was a brother I never had
I thought, with him, maybe I’d make it
Maybe it’d be half as bad

[Verse 6]
Spеnt my nights under the covers
Just wishing hе was there
Draw his portrait in my diary
Just to hold when I got scared

[Verse 7]
Now I’m fucked up and I’m nasty
But they say I make it look good
I don’t do what my mama told me
I just do what my mama would

[Verse 8]
I don’t starve ’cause I hate my body
I just starve ’cause I’m fucking broke
And on my mama, I hate this country
America is a fucking joke

[Verse 9]
What’s gonna scare me when I’ve seen it all?
Been too sick to walk, so I had to crawl
When you leave, turn off the light
I leave my door open at night

[Verse 10]
To be strung out and still be stone cold
To reach the end, but never close to old
I don’t feel good, but I don’t wanna cry
If I can’t live, can I just fucking die?

half cocked - ethel cain

lyrics:

When I met you there underneath the powerlines
I'd start to cry, to wash you away
'Cause I'm a goddamn fool and I knew you'd ruin my life
In the fever dream of a summer haze
I was nineteen, you were twenty one
My mama said she loved you
She wasn't the only one
You lost yours back
When you were fifteen
You forgot softness
And what the word means
But I've come to know you
Like you forgot you knew yourself
Gave you my virginity under the overpass
Static tearing up your daddy's stereo
You were pouring sweat
And I was bleeding out on your seats
But we just laughed to death
And held each other close
Valleys of powerlines
We drive by day and night
Stretching for miles away from here
We talk of runnin'
Straight shot, just gunnin'
Until we're out there in the clear And it's been hard here for you
But I know, I'm trying too
All alone in this town
In this Alabama wild
Nothing stops if not for you
But I'll always love you and you know I will

[Verse 2]
We spent September on the backroads
Shotgunnin' warm Bud Lights down a sinner's rabbit hole
By the fire, taking off my dirty blouse
I let your hands do things that no one needs to know
And I love you like you won't ever know
'Cause you get too caught up in what they tell you to
I'll never forget the night or the paper in his hand
When you found your daddy there swinging from the ceiling fan
By that belt you fucking hated
That left the marks I don't ask about
All I know is I've never seen you hurt
As bad as you do right now
Now you crush up pills to forget
And you crush up more to sleep
You crushed yourself into a ghost
That I can't reach when you're inside me
And I take each blow you give me
And I keep it as a gift
At least you can still stand to touch me
And when you throw, you never miss It's been hard here for you
But I know, I'm trying too
All alone in this town
In this Alabama wild
Nothing stops if not for you
But I'll always love you and you know I will

[Bridge]
You'd been gone for days when I
Heard the news that you'd been found
Shotgun in hand in your daddy's field
Sprayed out all over the ground one last time
And I wish that we'd have left while we still could
But I'll do what I promised you I would
And let those powerlines take me somewhere

[Chorus]
It's been hard here for you
But I know, I'm trying too
All alone in this town
In this Alabama wild
Nothing stops if not for you
But I'll always love you and you know I will
But I'll always love you and you know I will And when I met you— (Shit)
And when I met you there underneath the powerlines, I'd
I'd start to cry and then I'd let you in
'Cause I'm a goddamn fool and I let you ruin my life
But if I had the chance, I'd do it all again

powerline valley - ethel cain

lyrics:

Beauty is everything
But no man will ever know what that means
Only the woman who’s holding his hand
Will ever know the pit that grows inside of that man

[Pre-Chorus]
He likes his clothes black, dinner packed, 8 hour days and nights away from her
Same place, saving face for him

[Chorus]
I feel like a preacher’s wife
Slaving every day and night
Making sure that he looks nice
For his children that I don’t share Beauty is everything
Even when it takes the piss from me
Even when he takes what he thinks is his inside me
I am beautiful and I am free
I am free

[Chorus]
I feel like a preacher’s wife
Crying waiting up all night
But I’ll carry him and Jesus Christ
As long as he comes home to me
