Eve's Daughter

Reality surprised both of us So you can blame me now Reality is cracking my eyes You're still standing far too close Reality hit me like a train Just below my ribcage Darling, I'm Eve's daughter They feed me apples They feed on my apples I should be coming now Tingling of have beens and would have beens Of things that I'm about to spit out of my mouth Darling, I'm Eve's daughter And we're just bad girls We remained children by our will or lack thereof Now we're just bad kids Here to start a war To get our justice for every blow All unnecessary detonations When I'm fussy and I insist on being myself And I ask you to keep your change to yourself They fed me apples But then they fed on my apples Soil under our feet was crying for mothers But I was a kid, so thoroughly unfit And just so they could start a war They remained children too
