lyrics

when you do not love yourself
you cannot love the moon
you can only hope for its affection
howling from your room

when you hurt your body
with punches and low words
the love keeps on dying
inside of you and inside of the world

and they tell you to relax
with your skin stretched by chains
thumbs pressed against the bruises
feeling out the pain

well i’m not a sheet of paper
on which you can release
my body is a temple
of which you cannot reach

pick up that dignity you threw across the floor
hold your teeth in your lap and the gums from which you tore
hate never makes it better, but we feel it in our bones
i’m a sister in the system from which my blood pours
i’m a sister in the system and my blood pours

we’re sisters in the system and our blood is pouring down
i'm a sister in the system and my blood pours
pick up that dignity your threw across the floor
