you've found time
doesn't love
gently
only eats
mouth full of gnarled promises
so quietly
but if you let me in
i'll take care of you
that's my promise
but if you let me in
i'll take care of you
that's my promise
ah, burning promises
i thought, love
if you had cared
you'd drown me softly
i thought, love
if you had cared
you'd drown me gently

Imperial Woman

In the morning
Comes alight
All you said were warnings
All your words kept blending
To make up my mind
She left you without warning
She was tired of your sighs
In the morning
Comes alight
All you said were warnings
She left you behind
She left you behind

that's no rope
that's just some more bad news
there's no hope
I hope they don't come loose
Strings around my throat
play us a sombre note
you said
dig the knife out
every breath exhumes
the umbillical between us a fresh noose
who knew
the umbilical between us a fresh noose

Yours, Irene

I am a grieving fruit
Hang low and I'm assumed sweet
Yet the curves and swerves of my limbs
wring me into a crooked laurel tree
I've been awake
and I've prayed
through the stormy weather, I've stayed
unfairly I've been waiting long enough to say
haven't I the right to say
You're all I ever needed
through you hurt instead
you're all I ever wanted
no, I don't what to say
I don't forgive you yet
by the fire we've set
grows the shadow of a woman I've never met
she speaks in riddles and twisted tongues
she tells me I'm doing no good to anyone
I'm sorry if all my aching makes you wait for me
while I count all the times I've let
the shadow of a woman I've never met
tear me down and I can't stop shrinking
I'm dragging my feet and I can't stop sinking
I'm sorry if all my aching makes you wait for me
I'm sorry if my waiting makes you ache with me
Well I'm scared if I stop crying, I'll start fading
I know it's a little silly but,
I'm scared if I stop crying, I'll start fading
I've been awake
and I've prayed
through the stormy weather, I've stayed
unfairly I've been waiting long enough to say
haven't I the right to say
You're all I ever needed
through you hurt instead
you're all I ever wanted
no, I don't what to say
I don't forgive you yet

if you could take me down
to where you took the others
i'd be so grateful to you
grateful to you
if i were god
i would tell you that
my love is blind
it keeps you from getting tied up
if keeps you from burning alive
if i were a saint
i would tell that
my god is a liar
only brings me out from death
to keep me a spectacle
in my life
he isn't kind
he isn't all that kind
Mountain
if you could take me higher
to where you took Moses
i'd be so grateful to you
grateful to you
Well, Fire
if you could speak to me
when i needed you the most
i'd be so grateful to you
grateful to you
Joshua, Joshua
you were right before
Joshua, Joshua
i should've listened to you

God Perches
03:29
|

if God exists than why did he
ever even make gravity
if he's sat up there in the sky
maybe that's why
my head feels so fucking heavy sometimes
i was told that love is when his hefty
sin sits heavy
on my chest
and then i must confess
well, love doesn't feel so good
your love doesn't feel so good
your love doesn't feel so good
if god perches on the shoulders of us
its the tiny people
the ones who sit cross-legged on the train
waistline, thick thighs, stomach, stomach sucked in
with our stomach, stomach sucked in
our stomach, stomach sucked in
i pray each time i squeeze through the crowd
our shoulders do not touch
it's the hush, its the rush
of dodging through handbags and elbows
and nothing, nothing ever feels as right
as when your hurricane hits
fists my chest
they say it happens every year in the south
they say it happens every year in the south
you have meltdowns and it happens every year in the south
you have meltdown and it happens every year in the south
this has gone beyond
the ambit of my loving arms
baby, i cannot love you for two of us
gentle arms, cannot love you enough
gentle arms, cannot love you for the two of us.

baby, i've
been wondering
if things are as hard as you claim them to be
cause lately, i've
been feeling like you can't love me
from so far away
cause maybe, baby
i just love you more
and maybe i just need to be
adored too
tell me if you adore me too
is it really that hard for you?
oh, is it really hard for you, johnny?
tell me if you love me
if you love me too
cause baby
i've been drowning
drowning, drowning
in your typhoon

never have I ever thought
that I could
carry with me
the fruito of someone else's grief
like this
never have I thought
that I could
carry with me
the fruit of someone else's grief
& sebastian,
if you could
would you take back
all the words you've said
as it hangs heavy in the air
