lyrics

Samson holds me close
‘Cause he thinks he knows
That I will not run
I will not run

But little does he know
I don’t hold this bird in my mother’s locket for fun
For fun

He gifts me with jewelry for the cruelty to me
That he thinks he inflicts
But little does he know
He never could have broken me
I just have a mind that can’t be fixed
I have a mind

Samson thinks he knows
What he will find on the inside
And outside of me
Like blood and hair and teeth
But little does he know
That I am salt and cloth and lemon rind
And my insides are my secret to keep

My mother’s in my veins
We buried her on the beach on Sunday
She liked to look at the sea
One day we’ll all be gone
And the fish will start walking on the land
And this will all just repeat
This will all just repeat

Samson thinks I’d care
If he left me I think I’d tear a piece of my hair out
And break a dish or two
But then I’d just move on
To the land I’m meant to wander on
And I would find a man who could be true
Yes I’d find a man who could be true
Look who’s running
