Costume Woman/ Heart in Ruin
Opening track to my EP Grabbing By the Heart. Written, sung, and produced by me.
Costume woman
My heart’s in ruins
Clutching the soil like it’s me
On the other end digging in
My heart’s in ruins
Toiled to it, clutching the soil like it’s me
Daring my heart to grow wings
And finally liberate me
The wings against the cage
Winding me up
The imaginary men have given me up
Ending the galvanizing
Dressed in the days
Rouging and bruising
Crying with certain clarity, purple
The body has settled with the blood
Coloring that’s all I think of
The imaginary men have given me up
My heart’s in ruins
Toiled to it, clutching the soil like it’s me
Costume woman
My heart’s in ruins
Daring my heart to grow wings
And finally, liberate me
The wings against the cage
Winding me up
Heavy with emotionmore
