A long, unfortunate while (demo) Lyrics by Ethel Cain

2021

[Verse 1]
I've been sleeping in the dead body
Of a dead deer out by I-40
I dragged it there as a bed
And consummated my love
In a purple stitch
Like a scratched out itch
I am ugly, I fear
I believe what I hear
And now the push has come to shove
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna waste myself
And go take a drive
Take too sharp a corner
And probably take a life
[Chorus]
In the end of it all
When you can hardly move
And they say you've still got the world to go
Stay strong
It’s a long, unfortunate while 'til curtain call, call
[Verse 2]
I've been poking at the dead body
Of the man that I oncе loved in my garden
He was good to mе and I went and I soiled his love
I will not see heaven
Surrendered to the fauna
Am I a bad person
For not knowing what I wanted?
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't face myself
So I avert my eyes
Take two shots in warning
And then take the dive
And I dive
[Chorus]
Into the end of it all
When you can hardly move
And they say you've still got the world to go
Stay strong
It's a long, unfortunate while 'til curtain call, call
So I call
Dreading the one
That one good morning
Will destroy me
When you're gone, gone
We've been young
Immortal, even
But now we turn and wait for kingdom come
[Outro]
You can leave the windows open
Here in our forever home
Bite down on your shoulder
And if you bleed, then I'll know
