lyrics
i have been growing lilac stems in my bones
to slow the progression of hardening where they've broken
i let the roots pull water from my skin
i'm dehydrated but i've let something good in
i have been stealing time from my old age
to compensate for all the time i lost as a kid
i was a rabbit digging in my pockets
for a watch to keep track and pulling dirt out instead
i have been running
drinking water from my palms
i think the dirt has it blessed
i have been running from sin my whole life
and tripping on the roots that grow
from the holes in my conscience
i'll hold the briar, crown of thorns in my pocket
as a nod to entanglement, the past, and what's ahead

"on days where I feel big it's hard to remember I'm not
on days where I feel small it's hard to remember the ants I've stepped on"
wow that's nice, and i also do not have a gender. good, relatable, nicee. Autumn Prince

this was the final album i needed to complete my collection of every black dresses album (and ep), and this one. this one is my new favorite. it's everything i love about black dresses, especially on WHEEL OF FORTUNE. crazy to think this is 5 years old, let alone released in the same month as my birthday. one million happy fans and friends forever <3 cyrus
