Goth Heart

A little girl since young
Got a goth heart next to her lung
 
She’s in black attire and black eyeliner
Smeared teardrops and a wrist covered in muddy slops
Got a tattoo on her skin that’s been chopped and chopped
 
A little girl since young
Got a goth heart beating underneath her chest
Never knew why she looked the way she looked when she undressed
She's been alone since sixteen, been floating somewhere in the south-west
 
A little girl since young
Got a goth heart next to her lung 
 
Goth heart and goth love
God gave her stitched skin, a goth heart, and words from above
She’s died over and over again, 
there's an angel flying above her head,
circling above her, just like a mourning dove.
