[Verse 1: Courtney Swain]
Electric poles sprout from the Earth
While no one was watching
The crooked smile you always wore
Like you were born sideways

[Chorus: Courtney Swain]
Flip on the light
Grab my braids
Prop me up right
I try to speak, but I only leak water
Flip on the light
Grab my braids, prop me up right
I try to speak, but I only leak water

[Verse 2: Courtney Swain]
Tentacles crawl through your curls
I spin around 'til I'm nauseous
My child teeth fall through my lips
The new ones grow in sharp

[Chorus: Courtney Swain]
Flip on the light
Grab my braids
Prop me up right
I try to speak, but I only leak water
Flip on the light
Grab my braids, prop me up right
I try to speak, but I only leak water
[Bridge 1: Courtney Swain]
Matching bows
Stranglehold
Oh, matching bows
In the morning light

[Bridge 2: Courtney Swain, Jessica Kion, & Both]
Flip on the light, grab my braids
Prop me up right
Flip on the light, grab my braids
Prop me up right
Matching bows
Flip on the light, grab my braids
Prop me up right
Flip on the light, grab my braids
Prop me up right
Matching bows (Matching bows)
Matching bows (Matching bows)
Matching bows (Matching bows)
Matching bows (Matching)

[Bridge 3: Courtney Swain]
Matching bows
Stranglehold
In the morning light
The taut strings of my family tree
Too tight to tie
Too harsh to hold
Too tight to tie
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
I try to speak, but I only leak water
