(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below

(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables?
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring?
And walk back down again
To feel your words and their sharp sting?
And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Post-Chorus]
(You make me do too much labour)
[Verse 2]
Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It's dominance under guise
[Pre-Chorus]
If we had a daughter
I'd watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She'd do what you taught her
She'd meet the same cruel fate
So now I've gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Bridge]
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting (All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid)
If our love died, would that be the worst thing? (Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant)
For somebody I thought was my saviour (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour (So that he never lifts a finger)
The callous skin on my hands is crackin' (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
And the silence haunts our bed chamber (It's not an act of love if you make her)
You make me do too much labour
(Siji, loro, telu) kenapa sampeyan hangin 'ing! Dadi kenceng
Menyang tali sing aku hangin 'saka. Off Island iki?
Iki minangka rencana uwal (iki minangka rencana Uwal)
Kanthi ati-ati. Supaya aku lunga! Lan nyilem ing ombak ing ngisor iki
[Pre-chorus]
Sapa sing cenderung orchards?
Sapa sing ndandani gable?
Nyiksa emosi
Saka sirahe meja dhuwur sampeyan
Sing njeblug banyu
Saka Mountain Spring Mountain?
Lan mlaku maneh
Kanggo ngrasakake tembung lan tatu sing cetha?
Lan aku njaluk 'fuckin' kesel
[Paduan Swara]
Kapiler ing mripatku bledosan
Yen katresnan kita tiwas, apa sing paling ala?
Kanggo wong sing dakkira yaiku Juruwilujengku
Sampeyan yakin nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja akeh
Kulit sing callous ing tanganku yaiku crackin '
Yen katresnan kita rampung, bakal dadi ala?
Lan bisu ngencengi ruangan amben kita
Sampeyan nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja
[Post-Charus]
(Sampeyan nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja)
[Ayat 2]
Nyuwun pangapunten saka ilatku
Ora tau sampeyan
Sibuk lapping saka cangkir sing mili
Lan nyusut garpu
Aku ngerti sampeyan wong cerdas (aku ngerti sampeyan wong cerdas)
Lan senjata
Sing ora cocog
Dominasi ing guise
[Pre-chorus]
Yen kita duwe anak wadon
Aku bakal nonton lan ora bisa nylametake dheweke
Nyiksa emosi
Saka sirahe meja dhuwur sampeyan
Dheweke bakal nindakake apa sing diajari
Dheweke bakal ketemu nasib sing padha
Dadi saiki aku kudu mbukak
Dadi aku bisa ngilangi kesalahan iki
Paling ora aku kudu nyoba
[Paduan Swara]
Kapiler ing mripatku bledosan
Yen katresnan kita tiwas, apa sing paling ala?
Kanggo wong sing dakkira yaiku Juruwilujengku
Sampeyan yakin nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja akeh
Kulit sing callous ing tanganku yaiku crackin '
Yen katresnan kita rampung, bakal dadi ala?
Lan bisu ngencengi ruangan amben kita
Sampeyan nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja
[Jembatan]
Sedina muput, saben dina: ahli terapi, ibu, pembantu
Nymph, banjur dadi perawat prawan, lan abdi
Mung lampiran, urip rawuh
Dadi dheweke ora nate ngangkat driji
Rong puluh papat pitu Mesin bayi
Dadi dheweke bisa urip kanthi pager pager
Iku dudu tumindak katresnan yen sampeyan nggawe dheweke
Sampeyan nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja
Sedina muput, saben dina: ahli terapi, ibu, pembantu
Nymph, banjur prawan, perawat, lan abdi
Mung lampiran, urip rawuh
Dadi dheweke ora nate ngangkat driji
Rong puluh papat pitu Mesin bayi
Dadi dheweke bisa urip kanthi pager pager
Iku dudu tumindak katresnan yen sampeyan nggawe dheweke
Sampeyan nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja

Kapiler ing mripatku bledosan (sedina, saben dina: ahli terapi, ibu, pembantu)
Yen katresnan kita tiwas, apa sing paling ala? (Nymph, banjur prawan, perawat, lan abdi)
Kanggo wong liya sing dakkira yaiku Juruwilujengku (mung lampiran, urip rawuh)
Sampeyan yakin nggawe aku nindakake tenaga kerja akeh (supaya dheweke ora nate ngangkat driji)
Kulit sing callous ing tanganku yaiku crackin '(rong puluh papat pitu mesin bayi)
Yen katresnan kita rampung, bakal dadi ala? (Dadi dheweke bisa urip impen pager pager)
Lan bisu ngencengi ruangan amben kita (dudu tumindak katresnan yen sampeyan nggawe dheweke)
