Lyrics Yes Artemis - Krys Cannon, Seeming

Yes Artemis

You ain’t a myth no more to me
We make a cold reality
We’ll take a hatchet to the tree
Yes Artemis
We’re still part of this
We’re still part of this life after life after life
Science don’t care once we breed
It’s got no grand poetic need
We’re just a husk to spit the seed
Yes Artemis
Now the heart of this
Long postpartum is life after life after life
We’re gonna find the door behind the door
The sound within the sound
The wind that moves the wind
'Cause we’re still hangin' round
We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire
The knife that shapes the knife
Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just
Finding the start of this life after life after life
Let’s watch from high up in the leaves
Let’s stake the fierce extremities
Let’s strike the artery of the beast
Yes Artemis
We’re still part of this
We’re still part of this life after life after life
And we’re not looking for release
But crawling deeper in the crease
Collecting scabs upon our knees
Yes Artemis
Bless the guard of this
Prison yard of this life after life after life
We’re gonna find the door behind the door
The sound within the sound
The wind that moves the wind
'Cause we’re still hangin' round
We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire
The knife that shapes the knife
Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just
Finding the start of this life after life after life
In the undergrowth
In all that I don’t know
A kiss that never ends
A kiss unscriptable
I’ll be the animal
That is too real to kill
I will outrun the world
By crouching low and still
Do you feel pleasure and pride and the will to survive?
Send the boar for you
Send the boar for you
And the salesmen who seize upon tidy ideas
Send the boar for you
Send the boar for you
And an arrow through the head
A literal arrow through the head
(You ain’t a myth no more)
Yes Artemis
West winds bark and hiss
Crest these carcasses
Resting harmless and
Yes Artemis
Clear this artifice
We’re the darkest
Among these harvested
Yes Artemis
Dressed in armistice
Time will march and
Arrest our heartlessness
Yes Artemis
Yes Artemis
We’re gonna find the door behind the door
The sound within the sound
The wind that moves the wind
'Cause we’re still hangin' round
We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire
The knife that shapes the knife
Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just
Finding the start of this life after life after life
