Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold room, can you hear me?
Blood is on my hands, am I filthy?
Define the guilt that I am supposed to hold
Lights out, do you fear me?
Against the law of nature, would you bless me?
To keep all that I have, do nothing wrong
[PreChorus]
I'm the woman, I'm the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I'm not the mother of your loss
I'm not the sister of your lust
[Chorus]
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I'll bathe
I'll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I'm tied to the stake
And my skin will rot, I'm staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new
[Verse 2]
What if I want to be pretty?
What if I want to perform?
I don't want to be nothing
What's my voice without your words?
So I'll speak the language
But it's a one-sided design
It cuts my tongue when I speak it
'Cause it's yours, no, it's not mine
[PreChorus]
'Cause I'm the woman, I'm the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I'm not the mother of your loss
I'm not the sister of your lust
[Chorus]
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I'll bathe
I'll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I'm tied to the stake
And my skin will rot, I'm staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new
[Outro]
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I'll bathe
I'll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I'm tied to the stake
Rotting skin, I stare at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new
