lyrics

MOUSE FLESH
Cool ginger was in the air.
Autumn burning bright.
Your skin, flame speckled, ghost-like, and fair.
Swept my eye to the night.
Ginger liquids crystallized on our bleeding Fall.
Beading down our maple pole as winter draws near.
Burning summer, far away, October is here.
Fall apart from your world.
Of one within itself.
Broken skull on the shelf, question marks on fire, the burning question.
Carve numbers into my forearm.
I'm alone, and there is no one home.
Need a chance to release my heart.
In the bed with my eyes shut tight.
Nothing to prey to, darkness is all that I see.
Don't worship nothin'.
Nothing worships me.
Offer sanctuary to the slime dogs.
Rusty pipes/fading lights
Life is but a dream.
Sewers awake with soul-blood. Mother Teresa stuffs her face with cow tongue while the demons weep.
Ride the backs of balding, grey angels as they descend into black water.
What is waiting just below the surface?
What is below the black film of grey water?
Tuesday gave way to Wednesday and turned all of the picture frames into sweet bulbs of mouse flesh.
Rotten and filthy like my grandfather’s breath.
Come on the angels embedded in my crystal plate.
Set before me an arcade of jewels and I wish that the witch was you.
