lyrics

So many people are so broken
and this story is broken too

we go looking for forgiveness
for things we did or didn't do

in our hearts we know we're goodness
in our souls we feel the call
to be someone for somebody
each other one and all

i have wept upon your mountain
i have walked upon my knees
i have crawled along the rubble
of broken promises and unmet needs

and the thing that i was looking for
and the thing i could not see
was the image of a perfect girl
the one i'd never be

oh my father how i've missed you
having never touched your face
and just like you i feel a sorrow
that time does not erase
when i cross over will you meet me
will you walk me to the bright
will you lead me on the dancefloor
of that ever-lasting light

in the meantime here on earth time
i am something of a song
but i once drank your whole abandon
wanting only to belong

now i walk beside the broken
a glass of water in my hand
and in the prism of their reflection
i see the once invisible man

you are with me as i love her
you are in me as i care
you have shown me not to hold back
knowing what is gone's not there

you have helped me to be tender
you have taught me to be true
i went empty up the mountain
and brought back a piece of you

Bitch Los Angeles, California

The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
