Charlotte's Hymn Lyrics:

So what is it that makes me the fool?
What does she have that I lack?
Why is my last name a tease and a wound?
And my first name is nothing but trash
Silly for caring, for nesting, for cracking
My sturdy chest open for you
Silly bitch making the cringy mistake
Of doing what good women do

The hang of my breast, my creases and lines
The flesh of a woman, a mother divine
The hang of your head, hanged for your crimes
The rage of a mother, the gruesome divine

So damn you, so damn you all
May God strike you down
May he render you small
I can't tell you how angry I am
I'll never forgive that respectable man

Lo' in the morning, Dolores on paper
Lolita in my lovely home
Once locked and grumpy, a storm of a girl
Angry and ready to go
One half my love, one half my mistakes
And one half the light of my life
More than the sum of her infinite parts
A slice of the gruesome divine

The hang of my flesh, my creases and lines
A body, a woman, a mother divine
The hang of your head, hanged for your crimes
The rage of a woman, the gruesome divine

Goddamn you, goddamn you all
May he strike you down
May he make you so small
And I couldn't tell you, how fucking angry I am
I'll never forgive the respectable man

What is a woman, what is a girl?
What is a person at all?
Precious and sacred and terror and mess
A storm in a jar at the mall
Tell her you love her and tell her you hate her
But I don't think you've ever met
Networks of bugs who conspire to exploit
The prize of my love and my sweat

The look in my eyes, my creases and lines
The flesh of a woman, a mother divine
The hang of your head, hanged for your crimes
The rage of a mother, the gruesome divine

Goddamn you, God help us all
May he strike you down
May he render you small
I cannot tell you how fucking angry I am
I'll never forgive, I don't think that I can

Starved in your soul and so arrogant still
That you've never known peace
And you never will
Failing and flailing
With your head in the sand
And still so content to decide what I am
