New Blood

Don't touch me
I will gut you like a fish
I'm sick of not having strength
I will fight till your funeral
Untie these ropes
Give me my knife and let me defend myself
Try to understand
I mean no harm
But I can't let you walk all over me
I'm not your doormat
I'm a fucking goddess
With a sword and a flame
Made of cinnamon and gasoline
Get your hands off of me
You don't deserve my gold
I can set you on fire and bury the ashes
I've been a fragile china doll for too long
It's time to become bulletproof
Enough tragedy
I've waited long enough
Rip off my skin, put my new blood on display
Fresh bones and sharp teeth
Drink power from my veins
I can grow new armor from the ashes of my enemies
I can grow flowers from my graveyard
I'm coming for everything they said I couldn't have
Eating my breakfast of glass and lotus flowers
Nothing can break me now
I am new and I am redeemed
Did you see my freedom simmering on the stove?
It's bubbling over now and ready for consumption
I've made a lot of messes and I've spilled a lot of blood, but
A small price to pay for pure fidelity
I'm not afraid to cut off fingers and gouge out eyes
Remember that before threatening my good nature
I am fire and I will not be put out.
