Blood Bitch

Blood woman
Blood bitch
There is a corona
A corona swelling

Pressing hands against the scar
There's no warmth
There's no warmth to be felt

Sometimes it's called water
Sometimes it's called flame
Neither one or the other
Has much form or shape

Cold burns powerful
Has powerful needs
Holds back whispered words of fire

I'll paint the blood bitch
The blood bitch black
Lift up your heels
You'll see burnt soles

But I'm Not

Sorrowful stories
I hear all they've shown
This bitch too rich never understands
As she's always known

Things from the forest die here
But I don't
Dead forest things are offered here
But I'm not


Ourselves with lies
Nothing of our cries
Giving it, getting it
Wishing martyrs so gratified

Things from the forest die here
But I don't
Dead forest things are offered here
But I'm not
(x4)

Wax and Wane

Carrion grows
More foul
We find
The devil bites dirty
We wax and we wane

The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane
The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane

Licking our wounds
The devil bites dirty
Reckoning we'll taste
We wax and we wane

The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane
The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane (x2)

And I guess we got gin drunk
The devil bites dirty
Up 'til we realize
We're laughing as they say it

The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane
The devil bites dirty
We wax and wane (x4)

Blind, Dumb, Deaf

Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it
Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it

At the bosom or the breast
At the forehead or the fist

Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it
Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it

My mouthing at you
My tongue the stake
I should welt should I hold you
I should gash should I kiss you


Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it
Blind, dumb, deaf and I'll find
I was never a part of it (x2)

Shallow Then Halo

Winged water, feathered river
Dirty, rich soil
Strong and fertile

Winged water, feathered river
Dirty, rich soil
Strong and fertile

The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then halo she
A sky for the sacred

Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Womb in the belly
Capital place
(x2)

The then shallow she
Earth as we know it
The then halo she
A sky for the sacred

In my...in my...

Winged water, feathered river
Dirty, rich soil
Strong and fertile

Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Womb in the belly
Capital place (x2)

At my...at my...
Stars in my eyes
At my feet
In my eyes
At my feet
Stars at my feet
Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Stars at my feet

Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet

Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet
Stars in my eyes
Stars at my feet

Garlands

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in the rosary
Die in the rosary
Die in the rosary
Die in the rosary
Die in the rosary


Well with these sweet garlands
We'll never find
We'll never find
Well with these stitches
Cravings convince
My cravings come out

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in the rosary
Die in the rosary (x4)

Well with these scarce scars
Craving convince
My cravings come out
Well with these scarce garlands
I'm more bound to
I'm not about to

Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in the rosary
Die in the rosary (x4)

Grail Overfloweth

(incomplete)

Grail Overfloweth
There is rain
And there's saliva
And there's you...
