about

lyrics

so many people
are so broken
and this story's
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

o 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 dance floor
of that everlasting 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
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
is not there

you have helped me to be tender
you have taught me to be true

i went empty
up a mountain
and brought back
a piece of you

about

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
