lyrics
A Blessing & A Curse
She’s got tattoos just to prove that she’s been hurt.
And she rations out biography to those worthy to serve.
A warrior woman decked in armor for protection from the dregs,
Those souls who took for granted that her heart was without legs.
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
Well, she forever flirts in riddles, we’re never meant to solve,
And she bathes in independence, while she measures her resolve.
Still likes to hang out with the boys, but she loves sleeping alone,
Dreaming free of tired shackles chained to suitors of the throne.
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
So weigh and measure hearts you rebel souls.
Because this patient-run asylum’ll have you running for the door.
And she’ll break you down to molecules dispersed into her sky,
Where stars and dreams and wishes go…go to cry
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
She’s got tattoos just to prove that she’s been hurt.
And she rations out biography to those worthy to serve.
A warrior woman decked in armor for protection from the dregs,
Those souls who took for granted that her heart was without legs.
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
Well, she forever flirts in riddles, we’re never meant to solve,
And she bathes in independence, while she measures her resolve.
Still likes to hang out with the boys, but she loves sleeping alone,
Dreaming free of tired shackles chained to suitors of the throne.
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
So weigh and measure hearts you rebel souls.
Because this patient-run asylum’ll have you running for the door.
And she’ll break you down to molecules dispersed into her sky,
Where stars and dreams and wishes go…go to cry
Well watch her run,
Wild and free of “only ones!”
Watch her bloom,
In the middle of the room.
She’s nothing short of poetry, meted out in verse,
She feels like both.
A blessing and a curse.
