THE CONTORTIONIST Songtext
von Melanie Martinez

Twisted all my limbs for you
Two of them in knots and two of them in loops
Ribbons tied around like a noose
Wonder if I′ll ever get it loose
I don't wanna bruise for you
Holding back my words until my face is blue
I don′t really care 'bout your crew
You can tell 'em what you wanted to

Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (pushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (lovin′ me)
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping (pulling me)
Feeling nothing, feeling nothing (fucking me)
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (crushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (touching me)
Uh-ah!


I′m done, I'm done
Done doing backbends, I break and I snap
It′s no fun, no fun
Pushed myself into a box while you held out a gun
I'm done, uh-ah, ha ha ha ha ha, ha!
I′m done, I'm done
Uh-ah, ha ha ha ha ha, ha!

Twisting all my bones like screws
Stretching my self-worth just like you usually do
Caught you like the cold or a flu (ah-choo!)
Praying that I′ll someday be immune
Got me like a bad tattoo
Always under skin even when it gets removed
Never get a chance to undo
Positions that you forced my way into

Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (pushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (lovin' me)
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping (pulling me)
Feeling nothing, feeling nothing (fucking me)
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (crushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (touching me)
Uh-ah!


I'm done, I′m done
Done doing backbends, I break and I snap
It′s no fun, no fun
Pushed myself into a box while you held out a gun
I'm done, uh-ah, ha ha ha ha ha, ha!
I′m done, I'm done
Uh-ah, ha ha ha ha ha, ha!

Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (pushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (lovin′ me)
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping (pulling me)
Feeling nothing, feeling nothing (fucking me)
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (crushing me)
Bodies touching, bodies touching (touching me)
Uh-ah!
