Brand New Lyrics by Grace VanderWaal
Cold room, can you hear me?
Blood is on my hands, am I filthy?
Define the guilt that I am supposed to hold
Lights out, do you fear me?
Against the law of nature, would you bless me?
To keep all that I have, do nothing wrong
I’m the woman, I’m the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I’m not the mother of your loss
I’m not the sister of your lust
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I’ll bathe
I’ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand-new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I’m tied to the stake
And my skin will rot, I’m staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand-new
What if I want to be pretty?
What if I want to perform?
I don’t want to be nothing
What’s my voice without your words?
So I’ll speak the language
But it’s a one-sided design
It cuts my tongue when I speak it
‘Cause it’s yours, no, it’s not mine
‘Cause I’m the woman, I’m the sin
A blemish burned into your skin
I’m not the mother of your loss
I’m not the sister of your lust
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I’ll bathe
I’ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand-new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I’m tied to the stake
And my skin will rot, I’m staring at my grave
Just hoping to be brand-new
Desperate, I pray
Run the bath in the water, I’ll bathe
I’ll do anything that you say
If I could be brand-new
An apple to taste
Burn me up as I’m tied to the stake
Rotting skin, I stare at my grave
Just hoping to be brand-new
