lyrics

Am Am C G
Am Am C E7

C E7 Am E7
C E7 Am F

My fingers started aching when the sky turned
My teeth and my knees dull, oh how my stars burned
You left my window wide open, and it’s cold
Your voice cracked in my ears as you watched me unfold

I am so young, now,
And sometimes I get scared
I feel so small, here,
So lay me down, lay with me

My guilt follows me and I swallow it down
The ghosts in my head beat in every old town
My words echo slowly as I begin,
“Forgive me, forgive me, for I have sinned”

And lord knows I’m still
A child
I feel so small, here,
So lay me down, lay with me

And when I struck,
I know you hurt like hell
I carry your heart
And I’m far from well

And when I struck,
I hope you felt my eyes
Hear me, hear me now
I beg for your light

Let me take back my hands
Fill them with my love
They never belonged in anger
You should know

Preh(E)rstoric
by Felecia and the Dinosaur

There's something spiritual, otherworldly in this album. It's light where you need it, and heavy in just the right places. For fans of: feminist alt-country. Favorite track: Sacred Sacrum. Porch Cat
