I've been sitting alone for hours 
Waiting for you to bring your ugliest parts to me
I've been naming our thorns for hours 
Hoping you'll treat them as kindly as you treated me
Oh, I've been thinking like a beast for hours
Wondering if you like the challenge of cruel men, me
After I glamour you for hours 
Will you have the strength
The strength to extinguish me

Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
Close to me

Boy (boy) I'm hungry but all my knives are dull
Will you sharpen your teeth to hunt and keep me full?
Oh, hunt to keep me full
When you're burnt down 
And you're praying for rain 
Can I wish for flood?
Is that OK?

Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Every time you lie 
You'll find yourself deeper inside of me)
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Why would you stay this long
If you didn't want me?)
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Don't act like I don't bring selfish joy to you)
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(You'll find yourself, close to me, closer to me)
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Oh, to me)
Each time you deny my mess (each time)
You'll find yourself closer to me, closer to me
(Oh)
Close to me
