ethel cain - death rattle

And I don’t wanna talk about love anymore
'Cause it’s getting too much for me
All I do is waste and decline, waiting for that age of my life
When I'm old and love is all that I’ll need

Swaying in the lamplight in my mother’s white gown
Holding out like a dog they’ve yet to put down
I whore out my tears and just keep wasting the best of my years
Like a beauty queen with eyes bleared

Got what I wanted but it’s never enough for me
Darling, don’t you see ?
I’m so beautiful and it’s wasted on me
Because the taste reminds me
I hate what love’s turned out to be

I don’t wanna be in my house anymore
'Cause it just makes me sad
Letting in the wild with every man who brings a world of hurt
With him each time he falls in my bed

Do you just want my blood?
Am I just that damn hard to love?
'Cause it feels like all I have is still just not enough
I guess that I'll just go outside
And watch the fire and fields of gold fly farther away from me

Got what I wanted but it’s never enough for me
Darling, don’t you see
I’m so beautiful and it’s wasted on me?
Because the taste reminds me
I hate what love turned out to be

But one of these days, it’ll come right back
I’ll love myself and I’ll tell myself that
I don’t have to wait to be happy when I’m old
And one of these days, I'll find a way
To fight the waves, embrace the pain
And paint the ages a hundred shades of gold


And I have found a way, I forgot the way
I’m on my way, I’m on my way
Don’t wait too long, I don’t want you to get tired of me
But I’ll be coming along
I’m coming along, I’ll be coming along
I’ll be coming along, I’ll be coming along
I'll be coming along, I'll be coming along
I'll be coming along
I'll be coming, coming for you
Don’t wait too long, I don’t want you to get tired of me
But I'll be coming along, coming along
I'll be coming along, I'll be coming along
I'll be coming along

Ethel Cain ~ Golden Age (Piano Version)

“This song is for my sister, Delilah. It's an ode to growing up.” - Hayden

lyrics:

There comes a day you sneak out
but you don't go home
Where you're out past the streetlights, 
running down the road and your daddy won't know
It hurts to grow up, when your knees are still cut
But for us, life's never been without blood

Getting life's cold goodbye wave
 from the dark of the driveway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, 
so I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, 
I'm going, I'm ready

There comes a day you find out 
that you don't wanna die
They'll say it's time you finally grew up, 
you've been gone for quite a while, 
but they'll never ask you why
They ask how it felt to suffocate myself
But not everything feels like something else

Getting life's cold goodbye wave 
from the dark of the driveway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, 
so I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, 
I'm going, I'm ready

20 'til midnight at gas stations
Praying to a stranger's dogs in the parking lot
I asked have I done enough for salvation
They said you'll die if you leave it up to God
Said I've been drinking from this river 'til I bled it dry
But they looked me dead in my eyes and said
It doesn't matter if the grass is greener on the other side
As long as it's alive

So give it one last goodbye wave, 
in the light of the highway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, 
but I've waited my whole life
So you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, we're going, we're ready

Played during an Instagram live stream on November 8, 2021. I tried to polish it a bit to make it somewhat listenable and failed spectacularly. Anyway, here it is.
