I don’t want to say it
And I don’t wanna hear it either
The words ain’t enough
No you can’t
can’t just say so
Don’t tell me what you’re thinking
Opinions weren’t asked for
But you say she’s pretty
and I think she’s prettier
so tell me where it’s going
you say you know but you won’t tell me
And I just stop thinking
Cause I don’t like the feeling
So sing me up a reason
Strangers have the worst ideas
Now I’m in a corner
Let my fists do the talking
Now I’m in a corner
Let my fists do the talking

You hide the knives
Your mother gave you
Sharpen the blade
You’ll need them
You’ll need them
And you’ll catch your words
Keep them in copper vessels
You hide the knives
You hide the knives
Your mother gave you
Sharpen the blade
you’ll need them
You’ll need them
And you’ll fall and you’ll fight
Oh always sub rosa
And you’ll smile
You hide the---
I am more than just a song to sing
I am more than just this carapace I need
You may approach but only on your knees
Pay a tribute and
Say a little prayer
To the destroyer

Lacuna Luna

they fly away at night in strange formations
while I lie supine oh how they flock
they sing instead but not to me, not to me
and lounge like mermaids on the bay
in the land of milk and honey
tried with strings with twine to secure them
but the strings won’t hold look they’re loosed again
opened up my mouth to tell you
but instead of words, blossoms tumbled down
I’m known to be laconic
Lacuna Luna
how will I now say what you mean to me
opia! opia!

Down Deep Down

She, she went down
Down where the river flowed
Calling, calling in,
Loud, for the debts she was owed
Do you remember the ghosts?
The ones you confided the most
Down deep down, in my bones
Feeling so violently
Sound inside, sinking
Sirens sing secretly
Soft, singing ballads of rage
Tales of a hatred so strange

You say goodnight
With shrines not lullabies
Sing out their songs
But i’ll get the words wrong
Voices too loud
Mine won’t make a sound
And it’s anecdoche
Hearts too large for sleeves
It’s in bad faith that we--
Songs of bitter things
It’s uneasy listening
The thoughts you must stow
Oh rosemary told me so
And it’s fragility
It’s a drowning machine
It’s in bad faith that we--
Oh the bridges we burn
May they light the way
Oh the hatred in turn
Hands remember
I just want to be more

Skeletons

I had a dream last night it was
Something about diving
How could I know you and I were sinking
Down in the deep end
Tenuously, tenuously
Strange savagery, strange savagery
It was a season for romance and
You said it’s not dead
But hope it fell like the old leaves
Down around my head
Strenuously, strenuously
Strange savagery, strange savagery
You sing it under the sound now
Because it’s where we belong now
Your space is filled to the brim but
I’ve seen it, i’ve seen it
Skeletons, skeletons (ooooh)
Skeletons, skeletons (ooooh)
Skeletons, skeletons (ooooh)
Skeletons, skeletons (ooooh)

The General

Deep in
Sweet grasses we laid
Sun drenched and painless in the blanket we made
Our sails
Proved too slight
Your anger tightened down like a vice
Will you lay down your arms
Will you lay down your arms
No cries
No demands
Could pry the hatchet from your steely hands
Fingers
That grasp in the dark
must find us before we tear each other apart
Or I’ll waste all my days
Will I waste all my days?

Martyr/Witness

Beneath the sea
She laid down to sleep
Sounds above pierce the waves
There’s no rest from the company you keep
But still
You stay
Are you a martyr?
Or just a witness
So you shrink down
Shrink down
Shrink down
Noncorporeal queen, you wear the crown
Each day--a fresh death
But still
You’re hoping better for your daughters but
What of you?
Are you a martyr?
Or just a witness

Soothsayer
Tell me lies
Fear entreats you
In lover’s guise
For I’ve seen your face,
We’re a long way from the ground
Sweet samsara
Will you preside
Swim through darkness
The pain is nothing to deride
But i’ll keep the parts that you
used to love inside
