lyrics

I was afraid he’d see my face
And the the blood on my lips
From the terror of grace
I bit my bitter tongue
And spit out copper blood

In the night, on the side of the road
I was walking somewhere
That I didn’t know
The car pulled up so quick
I was scared of him

But I’m alright
I’ll be just fine
The desert gets
So cold at night

I declined the ride from that man
Did I make mistake
There’s goosebumps on my hands
When the California sun
Hides from everyone

I was afraid I’d see his face
But my tired brown eyes
Can’t see a thing in this place
The greasewood bush caught flame
I slept there all the same

I’m not alright
