Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't let your lids black
Oil down that attractant
That's what you said once
Outside your cell
[Verse 2]
We used to go out
Chant the names of power
Let's hit The Plough now
You're back around
YHVH, now you broke out
[Verse 3]
No, it isn't the first time you showed up
On the fist of the month askin' me for your cut
And some virgin parchment you brought me to read
Why'd you pick a virgin over me?
[Verse 4]
That's an adult situation you threw
At your childhood contemporary
I was never the witch that you made me to be
Still you picked a virgin over me
Yeah, you picked a virgin over me
Yeah, you picked a virgin
[Verse 5]
The Plough emptied out, and that was enough
I slid towards the door, but you started freakin' the fuck out
Stop shakin', why you freakin' the fuck out?
You better stop 'cause it's freakin' me out
[Verse 6]
He wants to burn all my candles, but it isn't for love
He wants to burn it on his fingers, but I'm not the one to give it
He wants sulfur and salt and my name on his arm
He wants to burn
He wants to burn
He wants to burn all my candles, but that isn't love
He wants to burn it on his fingers, he thinks I'm the one to give it
He wants sulfur and salt and so he's holdin' me down
He wants to burn and it's freakin' me out
He wants to burn and it's freakin' me out
He wants to burn and it's freakin' me out
