Lyrics Clem - The Autumns

Clem

Some white boys
Fake noise
Pulled faces
From a box of toys
Not my girl
Black-bone
Cut pearl
And every pin-curl poised
Sets herself
In fine ice shelf
A clutch of wishes grown
Round her throne
Come my Clem
Lips licked
Wound stems
The whispers rip and rend
Pluck of pink
Ribbed red as ink
Another heart to spend
Twined those two
Like black and blue
The kisses kept in bruise
Let me lose
Don’t say no
Say it isn’t so, I know
Never gonna let go
With this tether in tow
The center holds
Then unfolds
Like love, it’s strange
Strangely lost in love
