Lyrics


1. BLOOD BITCH

Blood woman
Blood bitch
There's a corona
A corona swelling
Pressing hands
Against this scar
There's no warmth
There's no warmth to be felt
Don't damage my altar
Don't damn this cold flame
Neither one or the other
Has much form or shape
Cold burns powerful
Has powerful needs
Holds back
What's my worth?
There's a fire
I'll paint the blood bitch
The blood bitch black
Lift or carry us(curious?)
Your the same old song

2. WAX AND WANE

Carrying prose
Broke my real friend
The devil might steady
We wax and we wane
The devil might steady

We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane

Licking alms
The devil might steady
Rattling we'll taste
We wax and we wane
The devil might steady

We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane

Caring is a bury gin shot
The devil might steady
Up 'till the wee wanes
Oh, we laugh in their faces
The devil might steady

We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane

We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane
We wax and wane


3. BUT I'M NOT

Sorrowful stories
I hear all that's shown
His posturish shiver on his things
And she's always known

Things from the forest die here
But I don't
Dead forest things are offered here
But I'm not

Vassels live lies
Their faith never cries
Giving in, getting in
Wishing what her sad grin finds

Things from the forest die here
But I don't
Dead forest things are offered here
But I'm not

But I'm not, but I'm not, but I'm not


4. BLIND DUMB DEAF

Blind dumb deafen offends
I was never a part of it

At the bosom
Or the breast
Or the forehead
Or the fist

Blind dumb deafen offends
I was never a part of it

My mouthing at you
My tongue the stake
I should welt should I hold you
I should gash should I kiss you

Blind dumb deafen offends
I was never a part of it


5. SHALLOW THEN ALLOW

Winged water
Feathered river
Dirty rich soil
Strong and fertile
The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then hallow she
A sky for the sacred
Stars in my eyes
Stars in my face
Womb in the belly
Capitol place

The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then hallow she
A sky for the sacred

In my, in my, in my, in my

Winged water
Feathered river
Dirty rich soil
Strong and fertile

Stars in my eyes
Stars in my face
Womb in the belly
Capitol place

In my eyes
At my
Stars in my eyes
In my eyes
At my feet
At my
In my eyes
At my feet
I have stars in my eyes
Stars in my eyes
I have stars in my face
Stars in my face
Stars in my eyes

I have stars in my face
Stars in my face
Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Stars at my arms, Stars at my feet
Stars at my arms, Stars at my feet
Stars at my arms, Stars at my feet


6. THE HOLLOW MEN

Her aura supposed he is
For all of them home alone
And the soul, Sleeps for days
The hollow place, Slow
See him, So that if I'm lost
The hollow place
Slow
See him
So that if I'm last
All, Stake, Stuck, Stake
And I'm stuck
Balk


7. GARLANDS

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary

Well, with these brave garlands
They never find out for her
They never find I'm lying
Well, with these etchings
Cravings convince
My cravings commence

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary

Well, with these scarve's scars
Cravings convince
My cravings commence
Well, with these splint's scars
I'm all that to you
I'm all that's who

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary

Well, with these scarve's scars
Cravings convince
My cravings commence
Well, with these splint's scars
I'm all that to you
I'm all that's who


8. GRAIL OVERFLOWETH

Grail overfloweth , There is rain
And music, And there is love [x2]
Grail overfloweth, There is rain
And there's saliva, And there's you

Flinch for him
More than the other fakes
I sleep
Horizontally
You told momma
You speak
You wish me to, See to you
Grail overfloweth
There is rain

Grail overfloweth
There is you and me

Grail overfloweth


9. DEAR HEART

Eyes, Our kind
Oh, it's fate, Fate
That copper(couple)
Shoulder
Fate, A shoulder

Taken till every hourglass
You ever released my dear heart
Taken till every wry shakes
Sad, depends on my lie shakes
Dear Heart

Taken till every hourglass
You ever released my dear heart
Taken till every wry shakes
Sad, depends on my lie shakes

Taken till every fake glance
You ever released my dear heart
Every wink still can't see him
Tickled pink like a muse
Dear heart

Taken till every fake glance
You ever released my dear heart
Every wink still can't see him
Tickled pink like a muse
Dear heart


10. HAZEL

Oh, on the phone
No, not grapevine
Ti- tinted(ta- tattletale)
And on the phone
Tinted, tinted, tinded, tinded
Eight ball, eight ball, eight ball, eight ball

Oh, on the phone
No, not grapevine
Ti- tinted(ta- tattletale)
And on the phone
Julie outside, Julie outside
Tinted [x4]
Eight ball [x4]

Oh, on the phone
No, not grapevine
Ti-tinted(ta-tattletale)
And on the phone
Julie outside
It's a scuttle
I'm a cheater
Julie outside
Oh, I slammed sleighs to him
No, not grapevine
Ti- tinted
I slammed the sleighs down
Tinted, tinted, tinded, tinded
Eight ball, eight ball, eight ball, eight ball

Oh, I slammed sleighs to him
No, not grapevine
Ti- tinted
I slammed the sleighs down
Julie outside
As a scuttle
Your playground
Across you
Julie outside
In vagrance
Playground
Julie outside
I won't need you
Julie outside


11. HEARSAY PLEASE

For I swore
By and by
Of your
Justice please

Hearsay please
At least tonight it should be so

For I swore
By and by
Of your
Justice please

I swear
I swore
By and by
By and by

Hearsay please
At least tonight it should be so

For I swore
By and by
Of your
Justice please

Boiled pain
Rip their castles
I swear
I swore
Boiled pain
Rip out cradles
I swear
I swore
Boiled pain
We can't stay his
I swear
I swore

By and by
By and by


12. SPEAK NO EVIL

My soul I sold
I can't forget to ask
There's nothing movin' it again
Wolf thirst said me

Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Hear no, see no, speak no evil

I heal, I hurt
I can't forget to ask
There's nothing movin' it again
Wolf thrist said me

Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Hear no, see no, speak no evil


13. PERHAPS SOME OTHER AEON

Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon
Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon

A change of head in hole
Oh well, if he shaves his headdress

Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon
Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon

I was near when you died at birth
I was near when you were born in death
I've felt the faces within you
It is a more sacred sin then on this list
And on the way there

Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon
Perhaps some other animal
Perhaps some other aeon
