“I would take off my head” (2025) by Slugger Witch. Synthesizers, voice, MIDI effects.

lyrics:

I have never felt right in this body


He does not deserve you

You don’t deserve what he did

I would take you and cherish you

I would take off my head

It would haunt him in daylight

By moonlight and evening time too

And when he woke up he would wonder

Why he had done that to you


They said that I keep many secrets

Secrets I keep, it is true

No one can know the way I feel

No one can know the way I do


I gathered all the flowers in the meadow

I gathered all the field

I braided my hair into them

I felt my heart swell

And I gathered all the flowers in the meadow

I gathered all the rocks on the shore

And when you came to me my darling

I knew I could hide no more


I do not deserve you

I am a freak

I have never felt right in this body,

That was not holding a woman against me


I have never felt right in this body

Woman
