A House In Nebraska

originally, "A House In Nebraska" by Ethel Cain.

Gunshot wounds and echos, singing to me all day long

Came the day the sound of silence, came to fill my molding walls

You and me against the world, I your woman, and you my girl

We had nothing except each other, you were my whole world

Then the night came and you were dead and gone

And I still call home that house in Nebraska

Where we found each other feeling lost, and scared, and underneath it all

Where the world hath fury, it was you and I

When you came and then cried, and you left and just died

Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

These dirt roads are empty, the ones we paved ourselves

Your mama calls me sometimes, blaming me for your death

And I'd cry to her and say that I loved you well

And truly, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time

And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know

That I'm the reason you won't come home

But I still call home that house in Nebraska

Where we found each other feeling lost, and scared, and underneath it all

Where the world hath fury, it was you and I

When you came and then cried, and you left and just died

Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

(So I died there under you every night, all night)

You know, I still wait right beside your grave

Praying straight to God that maybe he'll raise you from the ground

I cry every day and your mother makes it worse

'Cause you were the only girl I was never scared to tell I hurt

And I found photographs of you girl, from our hidden chest

I thought that you were so beautiful, but now you rest

And you will never come back home, and I may never sleep at night

But God, I just hope you're doing fine up there, I just pray that you're alright

And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone down here

I feel so alone, I feel so alone down here

And I feel so alone without you, I'm so down out here

I feel so alone, I feel so alone

I'm so alone down here without you, baby

Hard Times

originally, "Hard Times" by Ethel Cain.

Hiding there

Under our tree

We're going on eighteen

Lay here on me

Tell me a story

About how this ends

Where they're all the bad guys

I'm listening

'Cause I hate the story

Where happiness ends and dies with you

I thought good girls get to be happy

We're not happy

We are poison in the water and unhappy

Little girls who need each other real bad

In the corner on your birthday

They're watching

Dancing right there in the grass

We were too young to notice

That some types of love are deemed bad

Praying we'd be like them

Doing all of the things that they do

And we still do

And that scares me

We're tired of them, we want to leave (bleeding whenever they want)

Too scared to move, too scared to leave

We're tired of them, we want to leave (it's just the way that they are)

We're tired of them, we want to leave (we just wanna leave)

We're tired of them, we want to leave (we just wanna leave)

Too scared to move, too scared to leave (we just wanna leave)

We're tired of them, we want to leave (please, can we leave, can we leave?)

We're tired of them, we want to leave

We're tired of them, we want to leave

Too scared to move, too scared to leave
