  • Turn her over
    A candle is lit I see through her
    Blow it out and
    Save all her ashes for me

    Curse me sold her
    The poison that runs its course through her
    Pale white skin with
    Strawberry gashes all over all over

    Watch me fault her
    You're living a like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    With strawberry gashes all over

    Called her over
    And ask her if she was improving
    She said feels fine
    Its wonderful wonderful here

    Hex me told her
    I dreamt of the devil that knew her
    Pale white skin
    With strawberry gashes all over all over

    Watch me fault you're living like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    With strawberry gashes all over all over
    I lay quiet

    Waiting for her voice to say
    Somethings you lose and
    Somethings you just give away
    Scold me failed her

    If only I'd held on tighter
    To her pale white skin that
    Twisted and withered away from me away from me
    Watch me lose her

    It's almost like losing myself
    Give her my soul
    And let them take somebody else
    Watch me fault her

    You're living like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    With strawberry gashes all over all over me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Goober from AlabamaI always thought this song was about someone with anorexia, she’s described as weak and pale, “living like a disaster”
  • Dan from The California Bay AreaA friend of mine actually pointed out that this song is about a heroin overdoser, not a self-harm cutter; the candle is for heating the spoon. This makes more sense to me since the person's described as withered.
  • Sarah from Yuba City, CaOk, i really wish more people knew that this band existed, because they were fantastic. Clear Hearts Grey Flowers is an amazing record. it's a shame they broke up so soon after releasing it. But the lead singer, Jessicka, formed a new band soon after called Scarling. if you've never heard them please go check them out. they are very different from JOJ but still great. Strawberry Gashes is a great song and it means a lot to me and a few of my friends. love it! :)
  • Dakota from Okc, OkVery nice song (: I love JoJ
