lyrics

dying but less dead
a few scratches short of a sword
tossing horror onto the doorstep sleeve
cradling the child
looking for the thread to sow the limb back on
for the umpteenth time
this lifetime

i met a sagittarius
put a few bricks in my structure
I'm tasting like five different people
the lorax speaks for all yr purple hair
jumping the border on a shopping cart
following my aries heart

let's light each other's eyes on fire
all we have to do is stare
and know
know it always tumbles down in various stages;
in various states of jenga

love in a field of eyeholes and wine
painting with the colors of yr sweat a certain safety net
being draped in the fabrics of my home and my honeypot
candles of my fresh husk keep time in the timeless

find yr bespeckled visuals
find yr own to engage with
from the scraps of yr spectral intuition
before you get too old
bridges of coffins never house any trolls
for it gives them too much company in the terms of
their secret fee

the task is the equivalent
of walking the length of a spoon in 5 paces
but once you wake up in yr bed
and they won't let you move
you learn that spoons are forever
thankfully

the spirits play with yr hair cause they're obviously starved
it's as close to the real thing as they can get
they have three bricks always levitating
the secret fee becomes theirs to keep
sleeping
