lyrics

Lay me down deep
Like I could be enough to keep
Myself a traitor to the blood(y) world
Of justices, their soldiers, and their ledgers.

Trip or tip-toe down the steep hill—
The church beneath the steeple spills
A carnival of people, clamor-ramaling
Like little bees, but evil.

Sweet Cecilia, bless me lucid!
I’d gone sippin’ on the wormwood
Longer than it felt good to…
Now I see ya in the fields
Where all the French boys painted petals
With their viscera— they’ll do it again soon.

Ohhhh…

I bet you didn’t know how bad a shadow could bleed.
I bet you didn’t know how long a trickle could seep.
I bet you didn’t know how fast the gaps in between.
I bet you didn’t know how far a shadow could scream!

Lay me down deep
Like I could be enough to keep
Myself a traitor to the blood(y) world
Of justices, their soldiers, and their ledgers,
And meet me where the sleepers fall for fun.
Drag me where the cloth of dreaming
Cossets what we love!

And let me crawl
Out of me
So I can breathe!
