Ethel
(lyrics by Tristan O'Malley)

I will back down from a fight
and when I'm with you
I give up all my rights
Lie down flat upon your floor
Wipe your feet and gently slam the door

You are all I need

You are there for me
to take away ambition
and kill my hopes and dreams
Tie my neck up with your rope
Make me run and watch me fall and choke

You are all I need

There is no freedom in a room without a phone
All the silence is your breathing
And I am all alone
Then I wake up and you've returned
And all I do is wrong...
If you stay out too long, I'll be gone. (???)

There is a sky and it burns a crimson red
While the sunlight is busy
cutting holes into the bed
I've got a jacket and I've got some cash
And this time I'm not going to ask
This time I'm not going to ask
