about

a song about bodies

lyrics

The curve of her freckled shoulders Are rolling hills
calmly rising, falling gently
as the sun peeKs over through her hair

pinching fingers nEver resting
squishing purple spots on aching limbs and my tightened chest, it tells me
You’ll never lOok like her

i’m not good at self-love
i think i’m afraid of it
i don’t even realize
i hate myself half the time
most of the time
okay, all of the time

i'm not good at self love
but i try, i try i try

(breaK)

i think about willow trees and wAtermelon seeds
growing at a pace that’s their own
one’s made to be consumed, the other’s made for solitude
neither can wish awaY their fate
as something beautiful, something flaWEd but beautifuL and different by design
both drawn together but never the same Line

i think about willow trees and watermelon seeds
Growing at a pace that’s thEir own
one’s made To be consumed, The otHer’s made for solitude
neither can wish away their fate
as something beautiful, somEthing flawed but beautiful and diffeRent by design
both drawn together but never the same line
maybe beautiful
so beautiful

in love with a ghost has such a cool sound. it's a cool mix of nice beats, video game sound, and studio ghibli whimsy. toni lee
