"Final Girl" lyrics - CHVRCHES

CHVRCHES
"Final Girl"
(Iain Cook / Martin Doherty / Lauren Mayberry)

Swallowing the seeds of sins
We sewed into the ground
Keeping secrets until everything
Became a bit too loud

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I could wash it down
I could drown it out
By filling up the silence with an organ sound
And by writing sentences I used to think were quite profound

[Chorus:]
And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
I should quit, maybe go get married
Only time will tell
And I wonder if I should've changed my accent
Tried to make myself more attractive
Only time will tell

[Post-Chorus:]
In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
And you know that she should be screaming

Telling all the tales took time
That I just do not have
Sifting further through the wreckage
I think you just have to laugh

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Try to take it back
As it turns to black
Don't want to find your daughter in a body bag
So I need to get out now while most of me is still intact

[Chorus:]
And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
I should quit, maybe go get married
Only time will tell
And I wonder if I should've changed my accent
Tried to make myself more attractive
Only time will tell

[Outro:]
In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
Does she look like me?
In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
And you know that she should be screaming now
