lyrics

patient like a preacher
you confessed your whole life
huddled ivory on the porch
there’s a dead moon on the rise
I can’t remember how we made it this far
just to survive, I’ve caused so much harm
there was no more you, no more me
we had to kill what we used to be
madcap like a beggar, expanding on the stretch
the spirits that I carried rest pitted in my chest
we skinned serpents alive, buried past lovers
covered you in acacia limbs, only to discover
vultures in a kettle, converging in the wake
votives line the passage as we mourn the steps we take
from stars on fish hooks beneath a velvet sky
to steel trap bodies claiming fatal hearts and minds.
