Misbegotten

from Ides of March EP by Cristina Black

lyrics

This is a moon for you, my misbegotten lover
The one who peeled away my skin and crawled right under
It tears me up that you could love another
Now I walk with wounds so deep, they open up and weep
When you come back
You come back and melt a heart that's hard like wax
If you stayed then I would never leave you
And I will never not feel crazy when I see you

I like to watch you walk into the distance
So I can go about my day denying your existence
If time could heal all ills, then what's this sickness
That alternates between two states, remission and relapse
When you come back
You come back and smash a heart that's made of glass
I admit that I will always want to be you
And I will never not feel crazy when I see you

This is a moon for you, my misbegotten lover
We once were one, but then our souls were torn asunder
Tonight it rises full and unencumbered
To light the way to all the pain I thought had long since passed
But it comes back
That shit comes back to burn a heart that's long gone black
I search for clues that you've been missing me too
And I will never not feel crazy when I see you

Cristina Black Los Angeles, California

Often compared to Nico and Fiona Apple for her dour-pretty character voice, Los Angeles singer-songwriter Cristina Black maintains a cabaret-like propriety while drawing on the curious looseness of her former home, New Orleans.
