lyrics

Mother, take me to the mountain
I am old enough to know
Of all the secrets that we buried safe in blankets of simple snow
Mother take me to the mountains
It is time to let me grow
Lift me high and plant me flowers
Waist roped tight and let me go

Blast from the past last night I found you
Drinking death down his arms around you
Surface skins swells you
Black cat cross compels you
Three faced and chargin my way come Cerberus come hell
You said that you'd always keep me safe
Now I'm in this bar
I smell Summer start and a wild fire haze
You said you would be you said you would be
A left handed turn in the maze
Turn in my maze
Now present tense I'll lean against this wall
She's premeditated
Wearing a face like I kept her waiting

Epitaph in stone, champagne glasses thrown
She says oh won't you dance with me
Fingernails in bone pulling at my clothes and she throws me to Persephone.
I say I have no quarrel with you love
With you love
I have no quarrel with you love
With you love
I can't breathe

Pressed to my chest less let her guess
That my heart heals so slowly
I don't need her knowing
Blue heron swear on show me
Liquid language choke me
Driving dirt into our knee caps
The earth swallows me whole we
Pace with pistols and our white flags raised
Now I'm in this bar I feel like autumn art and a nose bleed phase
I said I would be I said I would be
A partition of faith
A fetishized waif
Present tense I will search for sense in it all
She's undedicated
Regression dressed aggression like she's the one that's baited

Holy holy
Praise praise
Praise praise
Holy holy
Stay Sephie stay stay Sephie stay

I can't breathe

Mother
Waist roped tight
And let me go
