"To Be Alone"

Never feel too good in crowds

With folks around, when they're playing

The anthems of rape culture loud

Crude and proud creatures baying

All I've ever done is hide

From our times when you're near me

Honey, when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes

I feel like a person for a moment of my life

But you don't know what hell you put me through

To have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you

To feel your weight in arms I'd never use

It's the god that heroin prays to

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh, to be alone with you

There are questions I can't ask

Now at last, the worst is over

See the way you hold yourself

Reel against your body's borders

I know that you hate this place

Not a trace of me would argue

Honey, we should run away, oh, someday

Our baby and her momma

And the damaged love she made

But I don't know what else that I would do

Than try to kiss the skin that crawls from you

Then feel your weight in arms I'd never use

It's the god that heroin prays to

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

It feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh, to be alone with you

Feels good, girl, it feels good

Feels good, girl, it feels good

Feels good, girl, it feels good

Oh, to be alone with you
