letra de persephone - allison russell

[verse 1]
blood on my shirt, two ripped b-ttons
might’ve k!lled me that time oh if i’d let him
he’s slow when he’s drunk, and he lost his grip on me
now i’m running down la rue st. paul
trying to get out from the weight of it all
can’t flag a cop ’cause i know he won’t stop
i’ll go see persephone

[chorus]
tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
gotta let me in persephone
got nowhere to go but i had to get away from him
my petals are bruised but i’m still a flower
come runnin’ to you in the violet hour
put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin

[verse 2]
mouth to mouth, mouth to flower
salty sweet you give me power
i feel you shake under my lips
your fingers tender find my secrets
don’t make a sound, don’t cry out love
your parents are sleeping just above
i kiss you once, i kiss you twice
fall asleep looking in each other’s eyes
[chorus]
tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
gotta let me in persephone
got nowhere to go but i had to get away from him
my petals are bruised but i’m still a flower
come runnin’ to you in the violet hour
put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin

[bridge]
light on your shoulder, light on your cheek
light telling me it’s time to leave
the birds are calling to the morning
your parents’ feet above us stirring
kiss your belly before i go
climb back outta your bas-m-nt window
back to the cold’s bite, back to the hard life
back to the harsh bright street

[chorus]
tap tap tappin’ on your window screen
gotta let me in persephone
got nowhere to go but i had to get away from him
my petals are bruised but i’m still a flower
come runnin to you in the violet hour
put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
