Lee Miller Lyrics

in this light
in this dream
i am you at 17
drinking death for someone else's cause
posing for a camera
what you wanted after all
corpses on the pages of a fashion magazine
i have caught the bodies breaking on a barbed wire sea
i have seen desire as he's bending over me
every picture every lens the light reveals the edge
finding inspiration in the mountain of a flesh

the life became the dream
the dream is smoldering
you let the light soak in my photograph
nothing scares me anymore
not Death or Destiny
i am but a witness to
the breadth of what we can and should not be

if this is hell,
it's a slow burn

took an hour in your bath
i am not in your grasp
washed your ashes down the drain
i am here
i am unafraid
nothing scares me anymore
not Death or Destiny
i will be the witness to
the breadth of what we Will ourselves to be

if this is hell,
it's a slow burn
