Janelle Monáe
Milk Dies
I’m alone all alone even when I’m
Not alone I like to think that I’m alone
It’s okay your love can’t save me anyway
You’re like a priest teaching the deaf to pray
Crumble down every statue in this town
I feel it now the darkness gathering like the clouds
Deep inside God bless the bullets flying by
I want to ride on the tears in your eyes

Chorus:

I cry at night
I’m laughing at the world too
But it’s alright
I’m dancing in it with you…
I cry at night
I’m laughing at the world too
But it’s alright
All because I want you…

Verse 2

It comes around every time I go downtown
Silent sounds, screeching and screaming round
Maybe you can feel it when I’m kissing you
The way it’s black, the way it winds away to blue
It’s all a bruise- artists call ‘em beauty marks
I see no beauty, just a painting bleeding in the park
So this is life: no heroes live through the night
And it all dies, everything you need in life…
