[Verse 1: Ashnikko, Both]

The ground reaches out to catch me

Softly in her baseball mitt

I'm tired of the dirt and grit

I want something soft

I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing

He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth

Listen to me when I say "ouch"

I want something soft

[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain, Both]

So I give in to the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here)

I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks

I died and I land with both of my hands

In the mud, the mud

It felt like a god how she held me

I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)

I bathеd in her waterfalls

And continue to fall, fall (I'm еntering the exosphere)

[Chorus: Ashnikko, Both]

Burnin' like a dyin' star

Invasive weeds rooted in my heart

Set in a crooked trajectory

The journey here was hard

I was almost pulled apart

Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me


[Verse 2: Ashnikko]

The forest reaches out to guide me

Blue fire paths of will-o'-wisps

Illuminate the darkness's old tricks

I'm nobody's captive (Mm)

I asked him not to kill me politely

He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source

I washed up on her sea glass shores

I'm nobody's captive (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain, Both]

It felt like a god how she held me

I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all

I bathed in her waterfalls

And continue to fall, fall


[Chorus: Both]

Burnin' like a dyin' star

Invasive weeds rooted in my heart

Set in a crooked trajectory

The journey here was hard

I was almost pulled apart

Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me

Burnin' like a dyin' star

Invasive weeds rooted in my heart

Set in a crooked trajectory

The journey here was hard

I was almost pulled apart

Tryin' to leave his orbit took what's left of me


[Outro: Ashnikko]

The ground reaches out to catch me

Softly in her baseball mitt

I'm tired of the dirt and grit

I want something soft
