Ethel Cain
Dying Star
[Verse 1: Ashnikko, Both]
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing
He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth
Listen to me when I say "ouch"
I want something soft

[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain, Both]
So I give in to the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here)
I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks
I died and I land with both of my hands
In the mud, the mud
It felt like a god how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)
I bathеd in her waterfalls
And continue to fall, fall (I'm еntering the exosphere)

[Chorus: Ashnikko, Both]
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me
[Verse 2: Ashnikko]
The forest reaches out to guide me
Blue fire paths of will-o'-wisps
Illuminate the darkness's old tricks
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)
I asked him not to kill me politely
He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source
I washed up on her sea glass shores
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain, Both]
It felt like a god how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continue to fall, fall

[Chorus: Both]
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me
[Outro: Ashnikko]
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
