her words are diamonds in the sand
she tried to call me and i ran
her fractured fingers trace my spine
opened her mouth and stole my time
i try to stay out of my mind, lying in my bed at night
i can feel a million eyes when i turn off the lights
they try to strip my body clean and smash me in the dirt
i try to harden up my shell so that i don't get hurt
melt into wax and waste away, lying in my bed all day
try to get me to leave my cave, but today's not the day
her head is full of pretty words that she'll never share with me
her words are diamonds in the sand and that's all they'll ever be
as our bodies melt away, there's nothing left i want to say
blood in the basement, i lost my nerve
thought "i'd rather be with her"
but i'm fine
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
