lyrics

little girl
in a concrete world
has a stomach
filled with stones

with skin like armor
to ward off the night,
she goes to places
no one knows

she can turn herself into
shadow, to slip
between the wakes
and the catacombs

counting the bodies
swaying in the dark,
the girl with the
rubber soul

has trained herself
to wither to smoke
at the touch of the
velvet hand

and the nightmares of her sleep,
tricksters of keepsakes
bleed into the palms
of her hands

every scar is a letter
written from the past,
sordid lines
marking the days

crushed little girl
crumbling in their hands
she is glass with an
instinct to shatter

and now she's looking at the world
through the eyes of a bird
little girl, you are
infinite matter
