## Lyrics

* Second Version
* First Version

A room at dusk
Mastering the art of lying still
Breathe like a girl
Til my lungs fill

Oh pull your boots up boys
And push me down
I’m only here for your entertainment

I am a dark red liver
Stretched out on the rocks
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held

Oh, [?] bent under the weight of it all
And put the whole world in your hands
Do you feel like a man when I can’t talk back
Do you want me or do you want control?
Failure to commit to the role I admit
Was a failure you achieved on your own
Do you want me to care when you just disappear
I can’t win them all

Run 'til I fall
How I wish the trees would swallow me
Make me a forest
Take away my soul

I could never give
The curse of her
I- I could never live with the guilt of lying
That people are kind

I am a dark red liver
Stretched out on the rocks
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held

Oh, [?] bent under the weight of it all
And put the whole world in your hands
Do you feel like a man when I can’t talk back
Do you want me or do you want control?
Failure to commit to the role I admit
Was a failure you achieved on your own
Do you want me to care when you just disappear
I can’t win them all

I am a dark red liver (ooh)
Stretched out on the rocks (oh-oh-ooh)
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love (ooh-oh-ooh-ooh)
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well (oh-oh-ooh)
To nurture the wounds

Give me that dark red liquor
Stretched out on the rocks
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held

What sadness [?] up there he said
Climbs on our back legs
[?] sight
Oh, let your boots up boy
And put me down
I’m only here for your entertainment

I am a dark red liver
Stretched out on a rod
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held

Oh, [?] bent under the weight of it all
And put the whole world in your hands
Do you feel like a man when I can’t talk back
Do you want me or do you want control?
Failure to commit to the role I admit
Was a failure you achieved on your own
Do you want me to care when you just disappear
I can’t win them all

I wish the trees would grow and swallow me
Make me a forest
Take away my soul
I could never give
The curse of-
I- I could never live with the guilt of lying
That people are kind

I am a dark red liver
Stretched out on a rod
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held

Oh, [?] bent under the weight of it all
And put the whole world in your hands
Do you feel like a man when I can’t talk back
Do you want me or do you want control?
Failure to commit to the role I admit
Was a failure you achieved on your own
Do you want me to care when you just disappear
I can’t win them all

I am a dark red liver (ooh)
Stretched out on the rocks (oh-oh-ooh)
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love (ooh-oh-ooh-ooh)
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well (oh-oh-ooh)
To nurture the wounds my mother held

Give me that dark red liquor
Stretched out on the rocks
All the poison I convert it and I turn it to love
Here comes the feminine urge
I know it so well
To nurture the wounds my mother held
