MADDIE THE DESTROYER - Calluses (12/23 Acoustic Demo)

Scream into the void, get swallowed by the sound
Protect me, give me love, sleep like sound
I'm the type who's gonna make your momma proud
I am in your town, and I will never let you down

I am the moth and you are the flame
We'll play the same game when i try to walk away
Butter me up once you broke me down
You never seem to notice, you constrict what you surround

It's just like you to find all my wounds
Shove the knife back in to stop me from bleeding
Cause when I go, you know you're coming with
Kept me alive, no matter how sick

Under my thumb and by my side
Deep into the night you're deep inside my mind
But when the drugs wear off, hold you up to the light
You're the drain on my system, you are the knife

I am the fool, and you are the jester
We'll pull apart forever,
You don't notice when it starts

Dropped a stitch, missed a step inside my soul
And you're holding me together
But that doesn't make me whole

For once let me go
My knuckles are white
I can't live like this

For once I can't be in control
Ever since I was a babe
The world has felt so cold

It's just like you, you find all my wounds
Reinsert the knife to prevent coagulation
No comfort, or relief
The calluses are all I need

Was I another page in a story you hated?
Could you spend a day with my trust without breaking it?
I always seem to be the one who gets away
But not for long

When you're suddenly afflicted,
Woken up by the smell
You stumble in a drug fueled haze
Through the hotel
I wonder what my mother thought,
"You sewed a seed in hell"?
Well, that night went down
in ways no one could ever tell

It's just like you, you find all my wounds
It's just like you

It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need
It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need
It's just like you, you find my wounds, the calluses are what I need
It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need

The calluses are what I need
The calluses are what I need
The calluses are what I need
The calluses

I am the fool, and you are the jester
We'll pull apart forever, you don't notice when it starts.
