Lyrics
ox blood and grave mould. scent
of woman and the soil shoved
beneath her nails are a crescent
moon. i see her reflected in the
lake at twilight. only bread,
water, and hate keep me alive.
but for the ske-le-ton grin
of his yellowed teeth, i sin and
i sin. I'm just going to
keep breathing in.
our shadows dance in the
firelight. cast against the wall
in the pale twilight. sex and
pale skin. please let me in.
his fingers catch in my matted
wet hair. mud covers lust, covers
sight, rolling in fallow fields
we are caught between the
ruts. the leaves whispering of
our presence they are falling
apart. so am I.
cover my naked body in posies for
i'm un-clean. cleanse my naked
feet in ashes from sins the
dandelion's kiss on the blood
from my mouth stings so sweet,
clings so soft.
these harrowed hearts. these
fallow fields .these furrowed
brows. this hollow zeal.
