Contessa, little darlin', they're gonna love your limbs So feeble, so flawless, you will be broken They'll dress you in violet, they'll touch your tender hair Those demons, the silence, you'll learn to block them So pick a spot on the wall, stare at it with all the strength you've got And if the lighting's right, seein' shapes so you won't think at all In the dark, wide awake when all those men have gone You cry for mother's God, swear at him and say I've had enough The pressure, it's risin' to let the shadows in The face of your father, is in the darkness You'll fake it, you'll fight it, you'll scrape and scrub your skin The stain and the fire, your fate's decided So pick a spot on the wall, stare at it with all the strength you've got And if the lighting's right, seein' shapes so you won't think at all In the dark, wide awake when all those men have gone You cry for mother's God, swear at him and say I've had enough Pick a spot on the wall, stare at it with all the strength you've got And if the lighting's right, seein' shapes so you won't think at all In the dark, wide awake when all those men have gone You cry for mother's God, swear at him and say I've had enough I've had enough I've had enough
