Sun Bleached Flies - Ethel Cain

summer has been insane, but I'm going to try to post much more 'cause i have so many cool ideas..
Film - Lady Bird
Lyrics : Sun-bleached flies sitting in the windowsill
Waiting for the day they escape
They talk all about their money and how their babies are always changing
While they're breathing in the poison of the paint
What I wouldn't give to be in church this Sunday
Listening to the choir so heartfelt, all singing
"God loves you, but not enough to save you"
So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself
So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me
If they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard
But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me
Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far
We all know how it goes
The more it hurts, the less it shows
But I still feel like they all know
And that's why I could never go back home
And I spend my life
Watching it go by from the sidelines
And God, I've tried
But I think it's about time I put up a fight
But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (how my daddy raised me)
If they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard (hit 'em twice as hard)
But I always knew that in the end, no one was coming to save me
So I just prayed, and I keep praying and praying and praying
If it's meant to be then it will be (oh, oh)
So I met him there and told him I believe (oh, oh)
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (it'll be)
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (back to me, oh)
If it's meant to be then it will be (oh, it will be, yeah)
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (oh)
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (it all comes back to me)
If it's meant to be then it will be (it will be, it will be, it will be)
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (yeah)
And I forgive it all as it comes back to me (oh)
And I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska
By the highway, out on the edge of town
Dancing with the windows open
I can't let go when something's broken
It's all I know and it's all I want now
