brand new

Grace Vanderwaal

Cold room, can you hear me?
Blood is on my hands, am I filthy?
Define the guilt that I am supposed to hold
Lights out, do you fear me?
Against the law of nature, would you bless me?
To keep all that I have, do nothing wrong

But I m the woman, I m the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I m not the mother of your loss
I m not the sister of your lust
Desperate, I ll pray
Run the bath, in the water, I ll bathe
I ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I m tied to a stake
And my skin will rot
I m staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new
Just hoping to be brand new

What if I wanna be pretty?
What if I wanna perform?
I don t wanna be nothing
What s my voice without your words?
So I ll speak the language
But it s a one-sided design
It cuts my tongue when I speak it
Because it s yours, no it s not mine

Cause I m the woman, I m the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I m not the mother of your loss
I m not the sister of your lust
Desperate, I ll pray
Run the bath, in the water, I ll bathe
I ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I m tied to a stake
And my skin will rot
I m staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new

Desperate, I ll pray
Run the bath, in the water, I ll bathe
I ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I m tied to the stake
Rotting skin
I ll stare at my grave
Just hoping to be brand new
Just hoping to be, just hoping to be brand new
