Weevil Bride |
And in the end we caught our weevil bride |
She was arraigned in garments' genocide |
We took her home to where our mirror stood, like she knew we would so she smiles |
She sings oo-oo-oo, I’ve been here before |
Many years ago, before the war |
And it goes on and on and on until you’re gone |
And I just need to know that everything is fine and everyone’s alright |
They take our tongues and give us guns, two coins for the ferryman for when |
you’re gone |
The weight of souls drives his boat ashore and he sails no more |
Staring out across the end he sings oo-oo-oo I’ve never been here before, |
even years ago after the war… |
…chiseling the granite from our dusty eyelids, harvesting the stones we throw |
We caught a virus from the periscope inside us, we caught a virus from the |
periscope |
We caught a virus from the periscope inside us, we caught a virus, |
we caught a virus |
Star-struck freeze frame capture that coin-filp fateful harmony-muted feedback |
With your cold hands on the foreheads so feverish and frantic while madmen lay |
your landmines in the ballroom |
And I want some, yes please |
Send us back as amputees with starry rags and shiny things |
Let me back into the sun |
How many times must all this be said? |
On and on until we’re gone, we’re all children of light cut from the same thread |
