On the day I was born
A soul left behind
A motherless child
No home to call mine
In my father's eyes
A face to remind
He was better at leaving
Than saying goodbye
A woman now grown
A man and his charms
Hard love at his hands
And I carry the scars
Still remember the morning
When I woke to find
He was better at leaving
Than saying goodbye
When the still waters rise
There's blood on the lake
A brick and a line
A fine grave they'll make
Don't cry for my loss
Don't pity my fate
He was never my love
He was no man of mine
Now the raven it caws
High noon's on its way
On the scaffold I stand
Cold eyes meet my gaze
They want my last words
I give no reply
Guess I'm better at leaving
Than saying goodbye

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
