about

Written to add another step to the ladder of outrage that is The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights, Louis's dark track is the story of a young woman suffocated by her pregnancy and desperation, with no legal way out of having her life cruelly stolen. Because of a lack of choice. Because her bodily autonomy was legislated out of existence. Like many other impoverished women, she chose death rather than a life of slavery to biology. There are no winners in this race.

lyrics

When she was just a child, her world made her wild.
Her family smiled, but they all pulled away.
With no place left to go, cast out and on her own
Fightin' hard to keep the wolves at bay.
When troubles come, it's like a flood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
No, there ain't nothing holy but the blood.

She's barely getting any rest.
She just failed the test.
How's she gonna care for a child?
She can barely feed herself.
There is just nothing left.
The frustration causes her to rage and scream and cry.
When troubles come, it's like a flood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
No, there ain't nothing holy but the blood.

Sitting, exhausted... Poor, broken girl.
The law says she's gotta bring another unwanted child into this world.
So she takes another drink, the pills start to make her think,
About the cruelty as she fades away, her whole life unfurled.
When troubles come, it's like a flood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
There ain't nothing holy but the blood.
No, there ain't nothing holy but the blood.
