lyrics

**POOR LITTLE STITCH GIRL**
Fresh out of the box, she got re-wired
Wrongly ripped & strongly-dripped
The quack who hacked - he got fired
"Un-Mother", "Not-Dad"; whoever they were
They already had one, they were done
so they never held her close... they held it against her

We can dream, but she's keen
what it means to come apart at the seams
She caught a bad rap as a bitch,
but the hitch is - she got rich
being a Poor Little Stitch Girl

Year upon year; re-sewn as she grew
Her whole life always under the knife
She survived each cut not-quite-good-as-new
Alone and cold, more bold with each suture
Unsure how to live 'right now';
Every cut from the Past bloodies the Future

We can dream, but she's keen
what it means to come apart at the seams
She caught a bad rap as a bitch,
but the hitch is - she got rich
being a Poor Little Stitch Girl

Her insides re-routed, detoured, re-patched.
Helped the parts, but not the heart
Never 'all there', but now; all detached.
She can't cut loose, see - that's just not her thing
Understand: no one planned
to live a Life held together by string.

We can dream, but she's keen
what it means to come apart at the seams
She caught a bad rap as a bitch,
but the hitch is - she got rich
being a Poor Little Stitch Girl
