It's about souls aside from ours, and how your sirloin steak felt pain.

Them
By Lauren Ligocki

She sits at a sewing machine for fifteen hours a day
In a humid room of ragged girls, with her third child on the way
But do I look nice in this dress she tailored just to fit
Am I more deserving than the baby that will never make it

Flowers at the funeral
Flowers as we dine

And we dine on them
By candlelight
And tout about anything
But how we survived

Race horses and their riders must be lured to the light
Then the crowd goes wild when they see their betting pays them right
And the dogs who have been buried stay behind like the old man
Who stays to watch his children throw his ashes to the sand

Flowers at the funeral
Flowers as we dine

And we dine on them
By candlelight
And tout about anything
But how we survived

Flowers at the funeral
Flowers when we die
Flowers on the table
Flowers as we dine
Flowers to mask
The smell of bloodied coal
How did I believe the man
Who preached they had no soul

And we dine on them
By candlelight
And tout about anything
But how we survived

Flowers at the funeral
How did I believe the man
Who preached they had no soul

  • hey! being one of only five isnt too bad. How's it feel to be the only ONE who watches our videos???

    sirloin steak felt pain? seems oxymoronic. sirloin steak sounds delicious. pain= not so much.

  • @RandomPlans

    NOT YOU, THE COW, DUHH!!!

  • "complications that arise from the expectations of what should be love"

    meaning: you have some boys picture in your locker, covered in candlewax and lipstick. He found it, told the principal, and you got an in-school suspension. Now, you're upset about it.

  • @TkissClub

    You've obviously been reading my diary.

  • I absolutely loved it, Lauren!

    I'm currently stuck with musical writer's block on a piece that is also inspired by the possibility of the existence of ghosts. I was traveling Kyoto and the old temples were so inspiring and I wondered if ghosts could still be lingering and watching...

    That stuff aside, I love this song, it's among my top favorites from you!

  • Thank you!

    I hope your writer's block goes away soon, because I'm excited to hear what you come up with!! Good luck!!!

see all

  • Great, Lauren! Beautiful song, voice and playing: a full job!

    Greetings from Brazil!

    Thumbs up!

  • Your song really captured me, it is amazing and your voice and playing is like... Can't describe, just really beautiful. Wish you much success.

  • How is it that Justin Bieber is making millions, if not billions, after someone saw his videos, but you aren't?! It just doesn't make sense, nor is it fair. This is definitely my favorite song by you. The first verse is just amazing, and really makes you listen to the rest. I'm a songwriter too. Maybe when I get some videos, you could watch them? Til' then, I love your music, and good luck with future pieces :]

  • im the sixth! :O
