sometimes I wonder if my shoes still fit
it feels like winter's lasted a thousand years
I'd pluck all the feathers out of my chest
to build us a warm and safe little nest
sometimes I wonder if the sun disappeared
oh scatter, beastie, we protect each other
alarm calls, to warn you, to warn me
of miasmic encroachment
my little bird / holding me
under your wing / a glorious thing
you keep me warm
you make me feel like
of all the wrongs
it's worth the fighting
my little bird / watching dvds
stretching our hands / into the sea
sometimes we go to the Thunderdome
you always bring a sandwich from home
sometimes I wonder how we're all still here
so tired, of constant foreboding
it's so much, but we keep on going

my arms bend back (alligator)
once sticky and wet (nuture)
the swamp of the heart (luminescence)
spills over the parapet (we will be ours)
we've been soft and sweet
keep it soft and sweet
marshmallow, the sweetest catacomb
so soft and combustible
stay within
stay with me
say you'll stop me from losing me
keep it safe
bar the door
or we'll all be down on the bathroom floor
hold it close, marshmallow
there's a bright sky up ahead

I saw some men marching down the road, two by two
singing
"I'm gonna bring some heads today, back home, now doo-di-lee-doo"

we are sisters, you and I
sisters, emulsified
we had grown our branches so tight
riding together in a 4-door sedan
you scooped your roots right out of my limbs
it's happening...
this is the fall
there's no getting out
a sword pressed against both our chests
strip it out and cut the line
you can run / you've always been
the dark one / set me free
Gatekeeper! Open thy gate!
Open thy gate that I may enter!
I will break the door, I will wrench the lock
we were sisters, deceivers, light and dark together
you've set the fire
I will smash the doorposts, I will force the doors
we are a forfeit of love for one another
I heard a death
across the river
it was us, dear
you cried
"set me free"
the closer I hold you
the more I bleed
we have both been
the harpy
oh, the dark one
you set me free

I have dreams / like TV scenes
I have dreams / of blood falling in sheets
sometimes I fit in to survive
Oh General / We're going forward
the troops are cold / we're holding on
you are in our thoughts
found out
in the parking lot
popular girls
stand in circles
just like in dreams
I'm not me
hanging with demons
memories
of being eaten
skinned alive
Oh General / hold my sword
the troops are bored / of the Gold Coast
