Ethel Cain - Lead Poisoning

♡
.
i fell in love again
september tends to be so cruel
he says my name and then
blah blah, so embarrassing
but then he came and leaned in
and asks have i seen how it rains
in the plains
says he could take me there
he’s handsome as the day is long
all the while, inching his way in
like summer stumbling to a fall
we sink into the carpet
already wet with november’s rain
i only bleed for him
mascara running like a champion
he says my name and then
i come so hard, i’d marry him
but then nirvana leaned in
and i lost myself again
to the rain
he asks not if but when
blah blah, something meaningful
i don’t weave the thread
just run my hands along it
but if i did, then hell
i’d spar with death to skip your name
i can see the end
in the beginning of everything
so i just play pretend
like i don’t watch you leaving
but you were never there
doctors blame the lead poisoning

literally gutted that she took ithis down from SoundCloud so i’m here to get this soft & sad song 💖💖💖

[@firewalkwifme]

Forreal I totally understand feeling insecure about your artwork and music at times but I wish to God I had written this, so haunting like watching a movie and realizing at the end it was all an illusion of the main character... just amazing

[@shal6401]

i’ve never heard a song that incorporates a storm in the production. it’s very fitting

marvelous persona by nicole dollanganger

Storm by Björk though I suppose how much it counts as a "song" is up to you 😭

There's also The Doors - Riders on the storm

@@maricarmensandovalcapa6057 yeah that’s a great intepretation but what’s the backstory behind this image? 😭

[@cadestrom1633]

probably just a random vintage looking picture lol

[@bounceintobed]

Maybe it hints of the era the song takes place in, could show an example of how her dream guy might have looked if he were real.

Anyone has the lyrics?
