\nI was wet wood by the time I arrived to the desert
\nSoaked by the tears and the sweat of a man
\nThat thought a picture of me was enough to keep me still
\nI was a shadow that he kept trying to capture into his acids
\nAnd every time he soaked me, I was corroded
\nAnd hung up to dry with the white bedsheets
\nThat still smelled like her
\n\nEvery time he left
\nThe sleepless creatures of the city came
\nTo stick labels to my skin, to tell me who I was
\nAnd all I was, was lust that didn\u2019t belong to me
\nThey said it was mine, but it was their thirst they saw
\nAnd I was condemned for painting mirrors
\nCondemned for being a woman
\nFor a woman shouldn\u2019t know how she looks
\n\nAnd since the sand came, the dampness washed away
\nI\u2019ve spent my days digging my grave
\nAnd my evenings waiting for a breath of air
\nTo cover it
