Lyrics THE CONTORTIONIST – 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 about your crew
You can tell ’em what you wanted to
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Pushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Lovin’ me
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping
Pullin’ me
Feelin’ nothing, feelin’ nothing
F**kin’ me
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Crushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Touchin’ 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, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I’m done, I’m done
Ah-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
Praying that I’ll someday be immune
Got me like a bad tattoo
Always under skin, even when it gets removed
Never got a chance to undo
Positions that you forced my way into
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Pushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Lovin’ me
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping
Pullin’ me
Feelin’ nothing, feelin’ nothing
F**kin’ me
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Crushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Touchin’ me
Oh, ow
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, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I’m done, I’m done
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Pushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Lovin’ me
Blood is pumping, blood is pumping
Pullin’ me
Feelin’ nothing, feelin’ nothing
F**kin’ me
Bones are crushing, bones are crushing
Crushin’ me
Body’s touching, body’s touching
Touchin’
Blood is pumping, blood is
Oh, ow…
