Do You Know Me Now? |
| And if you think you knew me then |
| You don’t know me now |
| As the ground rose up to meet me |
| I kissed your mouth |
| You wore your boredom like an armor |
| But I tuned you out |
| And if that brought us to our knees |
| We laughed all the way down |
| I prized my daddy’s ring from my hand |
| And I made a bride |
| We grew a flower in the desert |
| We grew terrified |
| We were one, not one and the same |
| Something was lost somehow |
| And if you think you knew me then |
| You don’t know me now |
| The planets high above you |
| Spun in houses of their own |
| You were dropped and hit the ground running |
| But they failed to lead you home |
| And if you think you knew me then |
| Do you know me now? |
| I drew a child inside a womb |
| Justified myself |
| I stole the face of joy, the perfume of wealth |
| I atomised the boy within before he cut himself |
| You found the blood upon my clothes |
| And you washed it out |
| And if you think you knew me then |
| You don’t know me now |
| There were children in the classroom |
| Erected without a nail |
| There were hornets in the heads of cattle |
| That vibrated to the sound |
| You cried wolf |
| I tracked one down and let it in |
| There were lambs, sure there was blood |
| There were psalms to sing |
| You could just see the bone jut out |
| Penetrate the skin |
| Did it dispel beyond all doubt the mess we’re in? |
| You raised your head |
| I stared you down |
| You still don’t know how |
| And if you think you knew me then |
| You don’t know me now |
| I was happy, satiated |
| I was satisfied |
