Taxi Light from Get Sick by Tummy

Julian
my body wants an out
so I crawl across the snowflakes on your bed

Julian’s the one for me
He hurts me where no one can see
I clean my bruises carefully
wash myself, I’m so pretty

I never felt a kiss like this
on the staircase, 1 a.m.

My friend says my taxi lights are all lit up
cut through the night
Illuminate his violent eyes
so I can watch him crawl inside
but I’ll be good tonight
I’ll be quiet
with eyelashes and fingertips
I guess I saw through it

Something I can purify alone

I’m different than those other girls
The perfect ones who crown his world
I think he’d like to watch me cry
Instead he laughs and says goodnight

I never felt a hit like this
You remind I asked for it
It’s true I’m not a little kid
I could’ve left
I could’ve quit
