Ethel Cain Two Children in a Motel demo

There’s been a stain in the carpet since the day our father took those pills
And nothing’s felt real since then
We haven't seen the ocean since two days after we were born
And now you say you wish they’d thrown you in

The red and white stripes above our bed have started tearing
And I’m just waiting for the stars to fall through
They let this town fall down around us like we always thought it would
But we never left, even though we knew

You and I are not in love, we are just the same
Two children in a motel making love in our own grave
And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt
We were better off dying with her at birth

And I don’t care what girls you hurt as long as you come home to me
’Cause I can’t be alone for long
You would have died if I didn’t hide you when the army came to take you
You can try, but you can’t tell me I’m wrong

You’re the only one I’ll let touch me
’Cause no one makes me feel safe like you do
All these dreams of violation starting to come true
Deep down, I don't wanna say no to you, no to you

You and I are not in love, we are just the same
Two children in a motel making love in our own grave
And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt
We were better off dying with her at birth
