By Myself - Maya Hawke

I pulled you around the balcony

To break a hive you couldn’t see

And buzzed for your big mouth to feed

On honey that ran out of me to choose you

And I’m playing with myself

I talked in rings to turn your spine

Losing memory of mine

But standing in a sturdy line

Doing all I can to confuse you

And I’m talking to myself

I prefer my dreams of you

To anything you’d ever do

So please don’t play or talk or move

Before I have the chance to abuse you

And I’m dreaming of myself

I play Caliban in bed

Turn my mind out, bang my head

So I forget what you said

That I’ll wind up dead before I bruise you

And I’m beating up myself

I’m beating up myself

Woe is me, I’m black and blue

At least I always tell the truth
