Carolina Lopez - Broke a Mirror Lyrics

Sat at the foot of a chapel
She's come to find herself
With shoulders bare and lips that lie
She won't go inside
Prolonging the climb to the door
She paints herself in red
Feeding the crow that picks at her side
But she won't go inside.
They say this place is littered with answers
They'll leave her just as bitter as they find her
That's even if she makes it to the altar
The sandbags on her feet might make her falter
She tried to be clean but it lingered
That scarlet mark left on her dress
The stench of desire a young one can't hide
She can't go inside.
And so she walks to the river
To see herself in its bed
A mirror reveals that she's sanctified
And she must go inside-
Someone take her inside
They say she takes after her mother
The way she gravitates towards the water
They say there's nothing wrong about her
So why then must she force herself to enter
Sat at the foot of a chapel
Her blessing past the door
She'll bathe in holy water
And come out drier than before.
Broke a mirror
Seven years of bad luck
Held it under running water.
Second guessing
Where'd the blessing go
Running through her hands like water.
Running through her hands like water.
Running through my hands like water...
