Half of a Woman

I feel like half of a woman
I feel like half of a woman

I feel like half of a woman
waltzing with the shell of a human
can't remember how to dance

split me from the sky to my belly
stuff my limbs with sand and confetti
as the song spins round and round
here amongst the lost and found

I feel like half of a woman
I feel like half of a woman

want to know what's at the bottom
drain the water from the ocean
so I can shop the sweet debris
pin it up for all to see

I feel like half of a woman
I feel like half of a woman

stitch me from the moon to my stomach
silver thread to tighten my gullet
keep my thoughts from slipping down
keep my voice from falling out
I feel like half of a woman
waltzing with the spell of a human
want to find what's been forgotten
secret slaughter deepest devotion
sweetest daughter treading water
to the sound that found and fought her
to the song that came and caught her
and she spins round and round
here amongst the lost and found

I feel like half of a woman
I feel like half of a woman
the waves have all but gone
the waves have all but gone
