lyrics

You were soaked in indifference

& Staggering lost in a fraudulent
Body you altered beyond
The ease of that vandal,
The angry man’s god.

The region of the heart was made
To herd your warmth and scoop the flock
From dusted windows, brittle & blocked
With hoary cobweb mesh occluding
Splendor of a caliber to rattle & trip
A ruby-crusted king.

They named the curtains Sacrifice,
But honey, what if there were no such thing?

You got key lime pie tenderness
Where your scroll and candle sorrow
Says it’s gonna rain spiders and shadows.
It’s gonna rain shadows with minds
Like starving romantics, and edges
Like crescent-eyed winter!

Well, we were never not all gonna die.
It’s an artist’s work to know the score,
And tell an honest lie.


It’s an artist’s work to long
To become Ever Yours,
Sweet Whomever,
Yet still to keep
Oneself one’s own,
Or a little of both,
Or whatever.
