about

The first single by Teuila Brown

lyrics

And I wore the martyr's coat,
Driving down the northwest road.
Covered in mosquito bites, sense of doubt.
PM pulled my ponytail, a.m. broke my slumber.

Tickled my rib-cage until we part flesh,
But it was never enough.
Chiseled me down until I lay soft,
But it's still never enough.

And I stole the martyr's name,
Don't tell her about her mother's claim to fame.
Covered in mosquito bites, sense of doubt.
PM pulled my ponytail, a.m. broke my slumber.

Valencia held my hair while I threw up,
But it was never enough (It was never enough).
NyQuil changed my perspective,
But it's still never enough (It still never enough),
And it was never enough (It was never enough).
And the martyr lives in us (Martyr lives in us),
And it's still never enough,
And it was never enough.
