Awe from Land by Erma

I purposefully placed this precious peace I earned while sifting the dirt
I lined all my walls and straightened it all
I burned down the pines
I vandalized with graffito eyes
My heart white

I thought about the old days, groomed my pain in new ways
Pulled it off and gave it to the moon
Well I guess that I made room, I guess that I made room
Without meaning to

All glitter and glue
All glitter and you
Goddamn

Now I’m blinking in awe
The familiar way you talk
Yah I’m kicking up dust
Cuz this touch is too much
This touch is just lust
Been thinking too much
About the old wounds your scratching up
Yah I’m dancing on the spot
I’m just kicking up dust
Just kicking up dust

Now I’m clawing at the walls, I’m staining my lips
I’m biting down cuz I don’t wanna lose my grip
Girl, settle your wild heart and curb your twisting gut
The ceiling is talking to me

This is nothing
There is something
It ain’t nothing
Whatcha doing?
Goddamn

Stop blinking in awe
Cuz you never once entertained the thought
You just wanted to get lost
I seemed easy and convenient, insecure and soft
Enough to give you what you want
But I’m not
No I’m not

And saying no
Is more pleasureful for me
Saying no
Is more exciting
Than getting you off
