Xiu Xiu - The Leash Lyrics

Perseus holds the head of Medusa
Oh, what I would give to be her
My hands cannot hold steady
When you reach out to me

Maybe boy, oh, if you could tell
Would you ever be taken as I am?
That I look to you every night
You do not seem to notice

Gull had made your sweetheart wrong
Born to suffer, born only to die

A dog will run its way into harm
When anyone lets off the leash
To reveal what I once was
Just for once, just for once

In this she is not unique
To have lied to a lover
In [Incomprehensible] pure touch
To be coveted, to be seen as I am

Sorry, your rage a hammer
Beat up on me, crumble me as powder
Wipe me off of your uniform
It's the same blood that you loved

I don't think that you are a fool
But you cannot deny me as a woman
Oh and since I was your woman
